Sound familiar?

  • Bikes and kit get refused

    A boxed bike is 150 to 175cm long, and treadmills top 100kg. Most couriers won't take them.

  • Peaks in January and spring

    Fitness kit peaks after New Year and bikes in spring, so fixed contracts never fit.

  • Too heavy to leave at the door

    A 110kg treadmill left on the doorstep is no use to a customer who can't lift it.

How we help sports equipment

Boxed bikes and treadmills, priced in seconds

A boxed bike is often 150 to 175cm long and a treadmill can top 100kg, which most couriers won't take. We take items up to 150kg and 6.5m, and there are no caps, so you book more in January and spring and less after. We can't carry e-bike batteries, as they count as dangerous goods.
