Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 35 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers praise the service for its efficiency, finding the booking process easy and the collection and delivery reliable and on time. People appreciate the good pricing and the provision of bike boxes and packing materials, which simplifies the preparation process. Reviewers often highlight the use of APC couriers as a positive aspect, noting the careful handling of goods. However, some customers also noted significant issues with delayed collections and deliveries, with some parcels taking much longer than expected. There are complaints about drivers not attempting collection, vans being full, and difficulties in contacting customer service, as the company uses third-party transporters. A few other people also felt that there were unexpected charges for oversized parcels or additional fees for rebooking, leading to dissatisfaction and a perception of poor value.

Paisley Freight advertise bicycle shipping so I would say it's reasonable to assume that a standard bike box used to ship bikes would be within their maximum size. It isn't. I got charged an extra £20... See more

Excellent Serivce From Start to Finish

I cannot fault the service from start to finish. Ordering was done on line and very simple. I sent a question via email and received a prompt reply.

I purchased the Push Bike Package, that included, packaging with a box, bubble wrap and tape, These items arrived the very next day. I arranged for the push bike to be picked up a few days later, to give me time to pack the push bike.

Excellent service from the start from me ordering the bundle to the push bike been delivered to my customer.

I cannot fault the service at all. I was notified that they would be using a local partner.

Lost my bike within 12 hours

Lost my bike within 12 hours of collection from seller.I had to chase this up- then informed it was out for delivery (two days later) with a courier. One dispatched they decided the seller has used an over sized box, charged me £15. They updated my delivery status to say I had requested the change in delivery. Chaos. No bike, no idea where it is or when it will be delivered. Two days at home waiting and nothing. If you want stress free bike transport- go elsewhere. Edit; bike finally delivered- driver told me that he had seen the parcel at the depot the day before but it was just left there 🙈

I had requested delivery of my bicycle…

I had requested delivery of my bicycle but the date of collection kept getting delayed. Someone eventually came to collect it but this was a week after the initial collection day.

This date was provided my Paisley Freight and was not something I had arranged. They then request a rearrangement fee of £10 which seems unfair considering I had chosen an acceptable collection date which was then ignored.

Another collection date was arranged but they didn't come (we were in all day) but marked us as being away. 3 weeks and no collection, just a large bicycle box in the hallway.

Dont use…terrible service

Dont use…terrible service

Firstly, if your looking for an update dont bother. They dont have a telephone, so you cant call, all communication is via email. Even when they do respond its clear they just dont care!
The tracking tool, good luck with that!

I am blown away

I am blown away, pick up in Glagow delivered to Berkshire the next day and the cheapest quote on the Internet. I would recommend this company to everyone and would certainly use again it was effortless.

Great deal, delivered

Paisley Freight offered a great deal for shipping a set of wheels and tyres. The wheels were collected yesterday and delivered today. I can't give them 5 stars because the actual shipping company, APC, provide very poor notice of collections and their tracking system didn't work.

Cheap service until they rip you off.

Absolute rip off, I was charged an extra £30 for not correctly wrapping the wheels but they were wrapped in bubble wrap and boxed. I appealed the issue with Paisley but they were not interested. It's basically the scam of giving you a cheap price and then charging you double for a bogus reason which you can do nothing about because they already have your item. I'll definitely go elsewhere in future. Very very poor customer service.

Paisley Freight - Wow!

First off. Awesome to find a company offering bespoke shipping from wheels of any kind to a complete MTB bike etc. Secondly to offer packaging and insurance. I selected my dates based on the sellers preference. The collection happened on time and was here in under 24 hours.
