Hi All,

I bought a CB400F frame from Great Yarmouth and need to get it to Telford. ( around 200 miles)

Can anybody recommend a good company that i could use to ship it for me.

I am in South Africa so not to easy for me to drive over to pick it up.

Thanks Kevin

UPS might be worth a try.

we were recommended to use MIAMOVESBIKESLTD (spelling and lettering as per business card) when my daughter wanted to move her Honda NC 700X from Crawley to us, for storage.

The company is based in Norfolk and used by local dealers extensively. From memory the bike arrived within two days or so after the request was made and we paid on delivery (approx £150.00)  We were kept informed of the pick up date and time, as well as delivery time to us (he called us when around half - an  - hour away to make sure that we were ready to receive it).

Previously, I had tried a number of other movers with little success (return calls not made after initial contact etc).

If you want to contact the company, call Ben on 07722 561649 or email miamovesbikes@yahoo.co.uk. Their website is at miamovesbikes.co.uk.

Hope it helps!

Good price so long as they don't loose it, rebranded same SH1T company. Would not trust them with a penny washer  >:(

DONT USE EVRI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I had the same thing to sort but a frame from York to Bristol and they lost the frame and wouldnt even pick up the phone, it was lost for 5 weeks and I had to drive up and do the PI routine to locate it..... Really, DONT DO IT ITS NOT WORTH THE STRESS!!!!

It was eventually found on a shelf in a random petrol station in their store room where the courier had left it as it was too heavy for him. The fact that he picked it up, put it in his van, drove around for a week with it in the back and then decided that it was too heavy to lift and so lifted it out and put it in a dark stockroom on the top shelf of a wall unit to prove the point is quite remarkable!

I would rather pay £450 than give them any monet at all as they loose everything. A firm sent me a battery three weeks ago on next day, still hasnt come.......Utter sh*t show!
