What a great service - rather than driving for miles to pick up a bike Cycelsent did the job for me at what is a reasonable price. Only issue was with courier company who delivered the box a day late... See more

Great service, highly recommend

Excellent service, the parcel was picked up on time and delivered on time. Does what it says on the tin. Very competitive prices and great to deal with. Happy to recommend and would gladly use again

Money Well CycleSpent

Personally I chose to box up my bike myself, though if you didn't have access to a bike box and packing, CycleSent have you covered. The only company I know of that are reliable, affordable and provide so much more than just a collect-deliver courier. I will be using them exclusively in the future.

NOT next day delivery

I have ordered next day delivery to ship the bike (which I sold on popular bidding site ) to Northern Ireland (£45). Person awaiting the bike took day off work to await for the delivery. For some reason bike did not arrive next day. I have called the cyclesent office on the following day where I've been told to call the courier comissioned by them to deliver my bike (should this not be cyclesent's job?). Anyway, the person from the courier company was able to find the bike (at first she said that it was lost) and thw bike has been finally delivered. I am not happy with the service provided, I have lost some money (refunded some of the cost to the buyer)

Decent service at busy time of year.

Arranged for bike collection and deliver on last two days before xmas.

Pick up, for which we had taken time off to be in for, was scheduled between 8:00-17:00 and was very late 19:30, no real communication from cyclesent other then it would be collected eventually.

Frantic calling to the actual courier (cyclesent act as a intermediary between you and the courier network - in essence all they do is book the courier for you, when it comes down to queries they pass you off into the actual courier) meant we were eventually able to contact the driver who said he was 40 mins away - an hour and a half later he collected the parcel.

Despite the numerous handle with care/fragile stickers the handling of the boxed up bike by the collection driver was a little rougher than I'd have liked but I'd spent a small fortune on bubble wrap and had to hope it would be sufficient.

The bike was deliver 14 hours later and according to my buyer in good condition.

So ultimately it all panned out and some leeway shall be granted as it was ubdoubletly the couriers busiest day of the year.

All chasing was done by me, cyclesent seem to be little more than middlemen but the service I paid for was carried out.

In future I would ring the local depot for a quote to cut out the middleman but cyclesent may put enough trade their way to make it still a better option to use them - and hopefully without the manic xmas rush it would be a less stressful experience.

Excellent service

Was a little concerned at using the service after reading a couple of reviews and the website ordering experience isn't the slickest but I decided to give it a go. I originally booked for a pickup for the following day but during a phone call to check the booking ok, I was told they could actually pickup that afternoon. So about 5 hours after I booked my bike was on its way & was delivered the next day as promised. Couldn't ask for better service & much cheaper than the alternatives. Will definitely use again.

Great service.
