Courier Costs

[Yazpeter]

Good EVENING,

A question I'm assuming was asked a thousands times before, BUT how much does it cost to ship a bike from CPT to JHB? who is the best courier to do so with? and is the method simple? Do i disassemble the bike or do they? Many thanks!

Get a box from a bikeshop. Most will give you one, Some will charge you R100 or so. Take the front wheel off, loosen bars, get it in there. Find a spot for the front wheel in there too. Alternatively ask n bikeshop to box it for you. It wont be free i guess.

measure the box. (LxBxH)
weigh the box. (technically this is irrelevant because the ‘volumetric weight’ will be more than the actual weight. But they want to know anyway. A massive bike box and a 20kg shoe box should cost the same to ship)

Get them to collect. It will be about R800 - R1000 ish for an option that takes a few days to a week between CT and GP.

PS, you dont have to use CC. I’ve just used them before for this without issue.

Courier Guy about R750 to R850. Box it yourself with bike box from your LBS.

Its R750 at Cycle Lab. They bubble wrap and box it for you. You can ship it to a specified address or one of the CL branches.

I have used Cyclelab/CWC a couple of times always great service 👌🏻 best of all no effort just drop off and they take care of everything.

I've use Cyclelab 3 x in past year sending bikes between Pta and Ctn. 

Drop bike they pack and courier with their courier service.

Last year I paid between 400 and 500 for everything. (Box and courier)

Was a very satisfying experience.

Good Afternoon, Just a heads up when to cyclelab, disassemble, packing and couriering service R700. That's from CPT to Sandton. Thanks for the advice. CYCLELAB was a breeze!
