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

If you want your bike to arrive like it’s just been through a mincer then this is the company for you. I used a dedicated bike box and wrapped the bike within an inch of its life. They managed to deli... See more

Efficient and simply order process

Efficient and simply order process. Great tracking facility. Only negative points are that I used the 'Leave in a safe place' option and requested the Bike Box to be left behind my garage. It was left next to my front door. And the Bike Box is just a little bit too narrow. Otherwise all good. Fast turn around and packaging materials are good.

Very prompt collection & delivery

Very prompt collection, with 1 hour collection time frame given early in the day of collection which means that you do not have to sit and wait for the whole day. Delivery on date as initially communicated. Thanks will strongly recommend .

All good

Mixed reviews for the bike delivery service but mine went flawlessly. I chose the package which provided the box and packing materials and the buyer commented on how it looked like they'd been very careful with the box. Arrived the next day from North of Scotland to England.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Paisley Freight for car parts new and secondhand.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Paisley Freight. My 2 consignments containing 4 road wheels and tyres arrived 10 minutes ago. That’s 1 week door to door from England (I live in Northern Ireland) In my view that’s a fantastic service. Moreover they looked as if they had just been packed by the sender a moment ago. Thank you very much indeed for a first class service and excellent communication throughout. I will wholeheartedly recommend your company and the service it offers.

Absolutely terrible service

Absolutely terrible service.
Considerable damage to a bike during transit and absolutely no liability taken by Paisley Freight. Utter refusal to offer any compensation or admit any responsibility for the damage when given photographic evidence of the damage.

Don't bother

Don't bother, only outsourced to APC.

Driver was very unhelpful, stroppy and blamed us for his van being full/no space for collection and didn't really want to take both tyres because they would be "in his way".

I specifically chose to ship with Paisley Freight to avoid this sort of conflict with couriers and paid a premium due to the good reviews and specialised in shipping wheels/tyres.

I packed the tyres as instructed and had everything ready as per instructions and feel the attitude we received totally unacceptable.

When I contacted Paisley Freight they did nothing to help, just brushed it off and said they would contact APC.

AVOID!!

AVOID!!! I sent a large parcel and I made sure beforehand it was within the max. size as stated on the website. I then have been hit with a £20 fee as they claim the parcel is 2cm over sized, which is not true and I can back it up with photos of the box and a tape measure. They cannot provide any proof the parcel is over sized, but I have to pay the £20 fee just for them to be able to investigate further. What kind of scam is this?? Will not use again.

Be Aware of need to send tyres as singles

Sent two tyres taped together and got an additional charge of £25 as they should have been separate. Read the small guides when booking as they require things differently to other couriers.
Collection driver did not complain and did not say they should be single

£20 oversized surcharge scammers

I'd give these charlatans five stars for delivering a bike from the Midlands to South London within a day but I'm giving them 1 star.

On the morning then bike was due to be delivered, they emailed me to say that the bike box was 2cm too long and because of that, I needed to pay them an additional £20 else they'd keep the bike delivery on hold.

I emailed them back to say it wasn't as I'd measured it myself. They replied that no, it was oversized and it was being kept by them until I paid the surcharge.

Checked the tracking to see that it still appeared to be out for delivery so decided not to pay, waited and eventually got a notification of delivery.

A quick look at other reviews and it appears that this is common behaviour from these scammers. Avoid.

Do not use

Do not use, my box was 162cm i.e. 2cm over the limit and they charge me 20 quid. They absolve themselves of all responsibility of this by blaming DPD overnight so that you have no way to contest the charge. I measured the box to be fine. 2cm is nothing.

BIKE STOLEN from professional HARD CASE…


BIKE STOLEN from professional HARD CASE LOCKED bike box. We have been offered £100 compensation for a pro level racing bike worth £10,000.00 stolen on one single delivery date between York, England and Scone, Perth Scotland. The empty 'broken into' bike box case was delivered with the bike completely gone! PF said that we did not pack the bike as per their guidelines (they wanted us to buy their cardboard box) option and they refuse more than £100 liabilty.

In this day and age how is it possible with tracked vans, employees on books and one single delivery date from one city to another that a bike can be stolen from a bike courier service and they not know where or who took it or at least be offered a proper level of compensation? Even a kids second hand bike would be worth more than £100!

DO NOT USE! They will NOT PAY out but will ask you for every receipt a replacement invoice police report bike number - everything we provided and it was all a total waste of time. We have lost our beloved TREK Madone for good.

Transported a bike with no issues

I used Paisley Freight to transport a bicycle purchased on ebay. There are mixed reviews around, but not many other companies offered the service of sending the packaging before-hand, so this was my only real choice for the money.

They provided a pick-up time period on the day for the seller, and a delivery time period on the day of delivery, all went by without a hitch. The delivery company was APC.
