Morning Guys,

Can anyone recommend me a decent courier service to transport 5 alloys from the Northants area up to Glasgow?

Thanks,
C

I've used them several times for transporting alloys (twice), car seats (twice) and a few times for bikes, within UK and also to Ireland. No problems apart from taking 2 days instead of 1 to deliver a mountain-bike from Falkirk to deepest, darkest Wales. Actual deliveries are done by CityLink.

And another vote for Paisley freight, used them twice - just to note however that on both occasions the work has been contracted out (don't know if they have their own vans at all) to City Link, but wheels arrived on time with no damage so would still recommend.

Yep, everytime I've used them it's been the same - City Link. I think Paisely Freight must only be a booking agent, but either way they've been great with me too.

Went with Paisley Couriers, £34.99 (Northants - Glasgow) for the 5 16inch alloys which I though was great value, alloys picked up on Thursday and delivered yesterday. All done by city link. So big thumbs up! Also many thanks for the recommendations!

Cheers,
C
