Courier Costs

[Zaans010]

Hi,

 

What is the approximate cost to courier a bicycle from Port Shepstone to Durban? Also which courier would you recommend?

[Jigghead]

Around R600 or so. DHL brought a frame up to JHB for me from Cape Town for that price.

 

It was packaged by the sender for me.

Sheppie is down the road .. easier to drive down and fetch it ?

 

You getting it from Bobby's ?

that part of the world use Time Freight, plus they have been involved in MTB for years, remember Aldon Baker?

That's the right answer and if needed you can check the bike before paying.

 

TimeFreight charge about R600-R800 per assembled bike(handlebar turned parallel to frame) as far as I remember

Thanks for the replies. I am actually selling the bicycle.

I sent my MTB from CPT to PMB with time and wasn't much more than R300 iirc

Time freight!!! :thumbup:

 

R300 for a parcel (bit smaller than bike, though...) from Bloem to stellenbosch.... no mess - no fuss.

 

I'll use them again!

Thanks, looks like time freight is the winner!

Used Time freight aswell, no problems. Around R300 too

You guys paying R300 to courier a full assembled road or mtb bike with Timefreight?

Are they charging you volumetric or just weight?

I'm assuming the handlebars and pedals must be taken off though?

One thing I do know is they don't offer any kind of insurance.

in a bike cardboard box.

in a bike cardboard box.

 

Disassembled in the original manufacturers box?

I used Time Freight as well.

Sent a frame from PMB to JHB for R300 about 3years ago. I'm sure it's gone up a bit by now. It's a volumetric cost basis more so than a mass base for a bike.
