Advice: which courier company to send a f

[JPW#]

I'm planning on sending a frame up to JHB, which company wont lose my frame?

NOT FedEx!

 

To them, Fragile means:

 

Throw it around, drop it from a dizzy height, open to see whats inside, store it the direction opposite to the arrow, put really heavy objects on top of it, make sure the box is crushed and has more than one tear on each surface.

 

Deliver to wrong address

 

On correct delivery & inspection of the now-damaged-goods.

 

Do not pay out the insurance, even if it was taken by the recipient.

I've now used a few. Greatest success was actually with SAA Cargo direct - if you're prepared to trek out to the airport and your buyer is happy to do the same on the other end. It's also cheaper. Cost me around R250 to send a complete bike to CT a few weeks ago. SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the handling of the bike - hence (I think this is logical) the likelihood af damage...

Berco Express. Or time frieght.

Bought my frame from MTBKid and he used UTI. Very good service, not sure of the cost - but they brought first the frame and then fork, both within a day or two.

 

Hats off to MTBKid's packaging as well
