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 and motorbikes. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know before shipping a bike or motorbike, and how we can manage the whole process for you.
Shipping large bikes and motorbikes 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 and motorbikes so they’re ‘ready to ride’, you need to find a container that is large and robust enough to guarantee safe shipping. However, we can also help you pack bike or motorbike parts for delivery, too.
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.

Whether by land, air or sea, PACK & SEND takes care of shipping for you. From pickup to drop-off, we offer a range of shipping options to get any bike or motorbike around the UK – or anywhere in the world – safely and on time.
We can collect your bike from your front door or driveway and our expert couriers will pack them safely and organise doorstep delivery, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Any bike with an engine will need to have fluids, lubricants and fuel removed before packing but if you are unsure how to do this your local PACK & SEND team will be able to advise or have it done for you.
Our range of bespoke packing options guarantees safe delivery and timely arrival of your crate at its destination.
Communication is everything. That’s why our end-to-end tracking services keep you updated on the location of your bike throughout its journey – and we’ll notify you when it’s been delivered, too.

Shipping bikes and motorbikes 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 and motorbikes, 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 or shipping motorbikes, we’re here to help.

It was a very pleasing experience dealing with PACK & SEND Leeds North. Items were well packed and received in good time. I found the lady that answers the phone to be very helpful and I will defiantly use their service again Click box for more
Used them with Sworders. They did a good job packing a large fragile item both securely but also efficiently. They were able to saved me some money because they packed the item safely but also didn't overdo it with excessive, heavy packaging like some other shippers do. They did a solid job all around Click box for more
