    Who transports bikes from Christchurch to Auckland for cheap???

    I need a bike picked up from Christchurch and delivered to Auckland but the only people I've found - Jeff's, charge $500. This seems pretty excessive to me, but then again I've never done this before... anyone know anyone cheaper??

    I shipped a bike to Christchurch from Auckland using Mana Transport at about half that, in a furniture truck. No problems. See if they've got a local branch

    Go for Jeffs mate. At least you know they will look after your bike.

    I'll ride it up even if it's not a 'prillie..
    just go halves on an airfare down there, and half the gas and ferry crossing, and it'll be way cheaper than finding any company to ship it up..
    it's not the RGV you show in your profile, is it..??

    I'll ride it up to Picton and put it on the boat for you. If you want you can get someone to pick up the bike on the other side? Thats cheap.

    I work for a company that has trucks moving between the main centres on a daily basis. Not carrying loads just being relocated. If timing is not an issue to you I could probably arrange to get it to Auckland within a couple of weeks for a tray of amber liquid.
    If someone won't leave you alone just ask them to wait in the far que.

    Just thought I'll give you some info that might come in handy in the future (if there is one)
    You can not put a Motorbike on the ferry without an accompanying rider.
    Wanted to do it myself but they would not have a bar of it.
    kind regards

    Try giving Streamline a call. They are a large delivery courier type place. I saw a bike once in their truck all packed up when they stopped for a pick up.

    I got a bike transported from Kaikoura to Auckland for $120. Give BIKETRANZ a call. Took about a week from placing request to delivery.

    Grego, I would like to know where you get this information from as I have done this before. It might be because I know the guys at the II and Bluebridge VERY well but I put a BMW on and the other guy picked it up on the otherside. I just had to sign a waiver form

    Bluebridge might,but Tranzrail wont take unaccompanied vehicles

    jeffs deliver to your door for that - the others are depot to depot. $180 is pretty good though - does it need to be crated for that? i'm not sure i'd trust others to move a bike on the centre/side stand.
