Hey guys,

 

Quick question...

 

Need to send my bike from Paarl to Potchefstroom...

 

Any advice on who to hire for this service (PostNet, DHL, Time Freight, Bike transporters...)?

 *Want a cash service as I am private client.

 

Any idea about costs?

 

Much appreciated.

Use globeflight, reasonable, reliable and generally over delivers... or at least that was my experience with them ever since I started using them after fastway decided not to help me anymore as an irregular cash user...

I've shipped with Triptych in the past. They charged me R285 to ship bike from Cape Town to Johannesburg.

 

Give Andrew a call, all i did was box the bike myself to my standards and it took a couple of days and it arrived on the other side in perfect condition.

 

I know they do a lot of bicycle shipping and i actually got their information from a bike shop that uses/used them as well.

Update

 

Dianne from Triptych got me a quote of +/- R500 excl. VAT, she's very helpful!

 

I am sorted and will see how the transport of the bike goes. Sending it this next Tuesday.

New update,

 

So for anyone looking to courier his/her bike from point A to B, Triptych is the way to go.

 

Cheap, efficient and very responsive. The plus? They even delivered one day ahead schedule.

 

Me and the buyer were very happy!

 

Will recommend it any day!!!

Sounds like a Durban courier company.

To courier at an affordable price door to door and not have to have an account . Just pay by credit card. The size of the parcel works on the honesty system,abuse it and they will block you.

 

It's through the courier guy but seems as if private individuals pick up the parcel. Have used them countless times with never any hassle at all. Overnight,even a fork in its box from jhb to ct is R114.

 

Even when you book the parcel in the late evening it still gets picked the next day 90% of the time.

 

For ease of use they are brilliant.

I can also attest to this. Andrew and team are very helpful and competent. They were even willing to act as escrow to ensure a smooth sale.
