If you’re looking to get your new pride and joy shipped to you – or send it elsewhere – it can be a logistical nightmare organising pickup, packing, and shipping.
That’s why PACK & SEND has put together its complete guide to shipping bikes. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know before shipping a bicycle, and how we can manage the whole process for you.
Shipping large bikes is a sizeable task. Finding a suitable shipping container, arranging transport and dealing with additional costs can be daunting to manage alone.
In order to ship bikes so they’re ‘ready to ride’, you need to find a container that is large and robust enough to guarantee safe shipping.
At PACK & SEND, we only pack bikes in high-quality wooden crates with purpose-built internal holders to protect against movement or impact during shipping.
No matter the size or weight of the package, PACK & SEND couriers organise the collection, packing and delivery for you, saving you the time and hassle of organising it at home.
We only use the most durable crates for your large, valuable items. And our packing specialists tailor all wrapping and packing solutions to fit perfectly around your items to avoid damage or breaking – especially around fragile or delicate components.
So, you get peace of mind your shipment will make it to its destination safe and sound.

Shipping bikes is no easy task. Their large size and value make them high-risk items to transport – even more so if they hold a lot of sentimental value.
If you’re looking to ship bikes, you deserve the peace of mind during delivery. That’s why our fully comprehensive warranty protection plans safeguard against damage, loss and theft during transit.

PACK & SEND boasts 30 years experience collecting, packing, and delivering just about everything. So, if you need help packing your bicycle, we’re here to help.
