OT: Advice on couriers

[EftekhA]

Wasn't sure where to post this, so apologies that this isn't strictly on topic. I am hoping to buy a couple of fold up bikes and the seller won't post, but has said that in the past a buyer arranged for a courier to pick up a bike as it was (ie not packaged). It's to travel about 150 miles.

Can anyone please recommend any couriers that they've used to do this successfully?

Thanks in advance!

If it's a fold up bike why can't he box em up or even just bag them with some bubble wrap, a damn sight easier than a full size bike!
If he can then Parcelmonkey use Citylink next day fully tracked starting at just under £7. Very large parcels they have a Parcelforce account that is 10.99 plus vat

I use the city link service all the time, you have to print out your own address label though.

There is a company called directcouriersolutions but they charge £23, I've a feeling you might get the same charge for both.
