Transporting Bicycles from Ukraine to the United Kingdom: What You Need to Know Before Sending
As more Ukrainians relocate to the United Kingdom or send belongings to family abroad, bicycle transportation has become increasingly common. Bicycles are valuable — often expensive — items that require careful handling and the right preparation before transport.
1. How we transport bicycles
We provide transport exclusively by road.
Your bicycle travels as part of consolidated cargo — a safe and cost-effective method.
We offer door-to-door delivery: we collect the bike from your address and deliver it directly to the recipient.
2. How to prepare your bicycle
To ensure your bicycle arrives safely, we recommend:
-
removing the pedals and the front wheel
-
slightly deflating the tyres
-
wrapping the frame in protective film
-
placing everything inside a box or bike bag
-
packing small parts in a separate bag and attaching it to the frame
📦 Standard box size: approximately 140×80×30 cm
3. Documents
Normally, no documents are required.
For high-value bicycles or e-bikes, we recommend keeping:
-
a purchase receipt (as proof of value)
4. Customs specifics
No customs duties or declarations are required.
In most cases, a simple description is sufficient — stating that the bicycle is for personal use.
5. Delivery time
⏱ 4–7 days by road transport, depending on route and vehicle capacity.
6. Tips
-
Do not leave small parts loose inside the box.
-
Take a photo of your bicycle before packing (optional).
-
Let us know if the bicycle is high-value or an electric model.
