Courier: Exeter >> Essex?..

[Milky]

As I have sold my ZX400.. it needs to get to Essex! .. the guy who bought it has not taken his test so we need a van or somethin to get the bike to him. What would be the cheapest, easiest option?.. what sort of price would we be looking at? Anyone know anyone good etc.. Thanks!, Tom.

Courier will be ALOT!!

why dont you ride it there then get the train back??

if it's off Fleabay. get him to come and get it or at least make sure he has paid for the bike and all your costs for getting it up there before you leave. If yuou get there and he changes his ming your left seriously out of pocket

I think the going courier rate for a bike anywhere in the country is around 150-200 pounds best searching motorbike courier on ebay.

Personally if i were selling id whip out the yellow pages and phone up all the "man with van" adverts like you do with insurance and play em off against each other, get the best quote

[Milky]

Yeh, he's paying me all of the money in cash before we arrange the bike to be taken. I was expecting around £150+ but he's paying obv so I dnt care haha! An jack.. I'm not riding to essex.

do a search on ebay,there used to be a uk bike delivery company that charged 99 quid
wasnt there also a guy based out bow/crediton way that used to do uk bike delivery
i wouldnt trust a courier personally as if it gets there and its damaged whos responsible,as its a ebay sale its his repsonsibility as a buyer to collect/arrange for collection so leave him worry about it if you cant find anyone

Got a mate with a car and tow-hitch? WTA rent trailers for £15-20

I would offer, but far too much on at present and the trailer is in pieces

[badgerKDD]

hire a van and get a mate or your dad to drive it, just remember to overestimate fuel costs !

what did you advertise on your ebay listing ? There are couriers that will do bike delivery anywhere in country for £95. Just take lots of pics before it does in the van and then email them to the buyer so he compare them on delivery.

i said "delivery can be arranged at extra cost".. .. so i suppose i've gotta have some sorta imput into getting it to him now! .. he's just emailed me saying he's coming for it with all the money in cash on monday so i'm assuming he's found someone to do it...

[deej]

Well that's a stroke of luck for you

I know advertising delivery helps a ebay sale but only offer it if you can actually offer the service. I usually make a extra 75 quid a sale on ebay as I have the benefit of a company car and trailer

rent a van, 25 quid for for the day + fuel

lmaooo. i've just been talking to the guy who has bought it on facebook.. he's paid for it now.. he's some gangsta kid from essex that has been riding round on a quad with no liscence etc. .. good by well-loved and cared for zxr... .. just gotta make sure the bike's deffinetly not still registered to me once i hand it over!!
