Zaans010 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Hi, What is the approximate cost to courier a bicycle from Port Shepstone to Durban? Also which courier would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigghead Posted July 24, 2013 Share 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. Edited July 24, 2013 by Jigghead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skott5 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Sheppie is down the road .. easier to drive down and fetch it ? You getting it from Bobby's ? TK-Sp3cialiSt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted July 24, 2013 Share that part of the world use Time Freight, plus they have been involved in MTB for years, remember Aldon Baker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted July 24, 2013 Share Sheppie is down the road .. easier to drive down and fetch it ? You getting it from Bobby's ? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted July 24, 2013 Share I sent my MTB from CPT to PMB with time and wasn't much more than R300 iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassie Posted July 24, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaans010 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Thanks, looks like time freight is the winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynehans Posted July 24, 2013 Share Time Frieght. R320 for my new BMC from Umhlanga to Vereeniging, Gauteng Edited July 24, 2013 by Waynehans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas Posted July 24, 2013 Share Used Time freight aswell, no problems. Around R300 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted July 24, 2013 Share 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.

Skylark Posted July 24, 2013 Share in a bike cardboard box. Disassembled in the original manufacturers box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossW Posted July 25, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
