Best boxes in the business

I had a great experience, BuxumBox reached out to clarify whether my bike would fit and then constructed a custom box for me. Shipping was delivered on time so I could travel with the box as I wanted. The box is the best I've ever had, before there was a generic hard case for my bikes, but this is so much better.

The only bikebox I’d travel with

The only bikebox I’d travel with. Have had a Tourmalet for several years and have just purchased a Ventoux after partner’s bike was damaged in a BikeBox Alan aerofit. They turned this box around really quickly to hit our travel date and the customer service, as always, has been superb. The Ventoux is so quick and easy to pack (and although bars need to be removed for the Tourmalet it’s also quick and simple). The design of both means your bike is so well protected and the box withstands anything thrown at it - on a coach transfer from the airport, I had to listen my unsecured box being flung from side to side around every high speed corner and roundabout - box had some battle scars but bike unharmed. Would recommend - worth every penny!

Great support answering questions before my order. Seamless delivery to the US. Aubisque tri box is large, but easy to pack and unpack. Box did great in my first trip to Spain. No issues with airline check-in. Box is stout and protected the bike extremely well.

As good as you can get

As good as you can get!

They shipped rapidly so my box came in time for an upcoming trip and communication was great on WhatsApp.

The box is as good as you can get for protection and can be packed in less than 5 minutes.

Keep in mind the size of the box as they are big!

Finally my forever bike box

Over many years of travelling with a bike abroad this is my 3rd bike box. I originally had a soft shell bike carrier which was light but not protective. I then had A BB Allen but had to change it because I needed a hard shell box that allowed me to keep integrated handlebars on bike.
The Buxum is a beautifully engineered Rolls Royce of a bike box.
I read the critical reviews on here. One comment was about “sharp rivets”. My personal view is that the box is gloriously engineered and the riveting is smooth and “aircraft quality”. It’s pretty much the same length as BB Allen easyfit and slightly shorter at maximum height. It looks bulkier because it is oblong.
The clasps are much better engineered than any other product. It rolls easier than a BB Allen.
I love mechanicing my bike: putting a bike safely away for travel is an art form. The Buxum only requires the removal of your wheels and seat post. 3 minutes.
Another comment on another review is that the central support bar might be a struggle for airport security and it could lead to wheel damage. The BB Allen also has a central support bar which is far more risky to your spokes. With the Buxum u pass the bar through your spokes under direct easy vision and there’s no weight of the lid risking your wheels when pushing bar through. In fact the quality of the engineering is beautiful.
I had to ask for some help at short notice and was guided accurately through what I needed and the box was delivered on a very short urgent time frame. Great communication and support.
I like quality and I’m impressed about the quality of this product, service and communication from Buxum

The best bike box….bar none!

Just back from Spain having used the Tourmalet bike box from Buxum it’s maiden voyage. The quality of engineering on these boxes is quite something - and will stand the test of time. For the first time had no bike plane anxiety as to what shape my bike might arrive in the other end! The locking mechanisms to secure the bike are excellent it’s all extremely well thought out and designed. Used several over the years and this is now the go to box. When they say ‘you can use one finger to move it around’ they aren’t kidding - quality wheels that glide through the airport & they won’t wake the neighbourhood up either as they aren’t cheap hard plastic. It’s not cheap but neither are bikes so a sound investment imo. Another plus it was under the BA weight limit - if your bike isn’t too heavy it counts as std hold baggage - ie no extra cost! Win win! Return to Spain with bike was £149 💥 with BA.

I asked to cancel the order and the supplier refused to do so, even though it is in their refund policy.

Wheels don’t work very well only turns on one side the box. Also very loud while moving, if you don’t want to draw attention and also want the possibility of fitting into most vehicles, don’t recommend. Also the wheel storage is an afterthought, simply held by velcros.

Hello Efrain. It’s disappointing you felt the need to leave a one-star review, especially after the communications exchanged via email and WhatsApp prior to this. For clarity, here are the points you mention addressed directly.

On the cancellation: our refund policy covers returns of unused boxes, and we remain happy to honour that. We also have a limited lifetime warranty on all our boxes. The reason we encouraged you not to cancel was that the issue - in this case reduced handlebar rotation - occurred after your bike was serviced subsequent to purchase of your box. Prior to ordering, you confirmed your bars rotated the full 101 degrees required for our Ventoux bike box. The reduction in rotation and the subsequent issues with you fitting your bike into the box were caused by the shortened brake brake hoses fitted by your local bike shop during that service, and not a fault or issue with the box. The box order itself was correctly specified for your bike. With no error in the box order, construction, or delivery, and a straightforward fix available to you via your bike shop who incorrectly fitted your hoses, a refund was not something we were able to offer at that point. As discussed at the time, the brake hose error by your bike shop is potentially dangerous for you - any strain on these hoses could weaken them and lead to catastrophic failure.

On the box wheels: one set castors freely and one set is fixed. This is an intentional design that gives you easy manoeuvrability while maintaining directional control. As described in our packing videos, the box needs to be pulled from the end with the casting wheels.

On vehicle fitment: the Ventoux box you ordered fits comfortably in all wagons, SUVs, and larger hatchbacks. We have a blog post on our website outlining fitment in cars, and examples of people with boxes in their cars on Instagram.

On wheel bags: the velcro closures are on the wheel bags themselves, for wrapping around the wheel. Inside the box, the wheels are held securely in place by velcro tethers that attach to the base of the box. As with all bikes boxes, there will be some movement, but certainly nothing deleterious. We're always happy to walk customers through the packing process. Please do get in touch at info@buxumbox.com and we’ll provide further help on packing.

Great Box

Great box, been on two trips so far. Eight different planes and my bike doesn't have a mark on it.
TSA said this is the easiest box to open up and look inside.

Love my Ventoux

Love my Ventoux. US airlines are notoriously rough on luggage. On a tecent trip, the box was a little beaten up, but my expensive bike was safe and sound. I also got a lot of compliments from other cyclists who were traveling!

Very satisfied Buxumbox new owner

Firstly, I was a bit confused about the many configuration options. Later, I tried to contact sales support, and thanks to their prompt response and friendly approach, everything was clarified very quickly. I am very satisfied Buxumbox owner now. Don't hesitate to ask which box is the best for you. It definitely helped me to find the best one.

Extremely Late Shipping – Missed My Trip

I ordered a bike box well in advance to make sure it would arrive on time for my trip. Unfortunately, the item was shipped extremely late and only dispatched at very short notice.
As a result, it did not arrive in time, and I was unable to take my bike with me as planned. This caused significant inconvenience and completely disrupted my travel plans.
Very disappointing experience, especially considering the importance of timely delivery for travel-related equipment.
I hope the company improves their logistics and communication in the future.

Hi Chris. We understand the frustration caused by a box not arriving in time for a trip. Our records show that for your travel date of 2nd January, we dispatched your order on 19th December, which should have been ample time for you to receive the box.

Our policy is to only accept orders when we are certain the delivery can be made before the travel date stated at the time of booking. To ensure full visibility, we provide FedEx tracking details as soon as a booking is made, and FedEx also sends direct updates to keep customers informed of progress. Given the lead time provided here, we would like to look into the specifics of what happened once the box was with the courier.

Please contact us via the Buxumbox website so we can investigate this further. Thank you.
