Private Couriering

[focusedtom]

I remember a mate mentioning this to me before, he does the M4 corridor a lot on his bike and makes a nice little side profit moving letters and other small stuff. Haven't spoken to him in a while though so I can't ask.

I do south Wales to the midlands every week or two in an estate so I could lug a fair bit , anyone got any experience of this? If so where do you go to look for people wanting to move stuff?

Think you can set yourself up to bid on Shipley

May be a few hoops to jump through though

Shipley is the one I've heard of, but you'll definitely need to bear in mind things like insurance (liability, business use) otherwise you leave yourself open to trouble. But it may be worth it, people who buy things on Ebay and then realise they haven't got a car might pay £10-£20 for you to drop it iff, pays your petrol bill.
Or find your local dealer and offer to do some couriering for him
(Joke incase that breaches PH rules or GCHQ are monitoring!!)

Note that your car insurance use needs to be Carriage of Goods for Hire and Reward for this purpose, not Business Use.
