Bicycle Messenger Service - Alberton

15/05/2020

Some interesting deliveries this week, collected baby onesies from Habby Hyper delivered to Mayberry Park, delivered Covid masks to Newmarket, pepper spray to Meyersdal amongst others... Today planned delivery of a bicycle part and then help out big Thys by collecting some auto paint in Booysens!

Just some of the things we can deliver, call us you never know 📞😎

14/05/2020

As announced last night another almost 3 weeks of level 4 to go ... For the remainder of this time all deliveries will only be charged at R30 as we know everyone is having a hard time.

Call, SMS, WhatsApp, Fb messenger, Telegram on 082 652 0112 anytime!

Musing on the future of a service like this today ... I'm sure that many people and that includes those that know about this, even the ones who like and follow this page have needed this service but decide to either get in their cars and go or use a more 'commercial' service.

I see many people posting about supporting local and small businesses who are owners of such businesses but for the most part they don't support others in the same way they want to be supported.

The next time you need something collected/delivered maybe take a moment to consider if it makes financial sense and if you could use that time better than getting into your car? Before you go online to arrange that courier service, could it have been done by a local person?

Yes there are limitations to this kind of service but they may be less than you might think, far for most people on a bike is not that far for a fit cyclist ... I have ridden rides up to 400k as a 'serious recreational cyclist' so long rides are not a problem. Clearly that's not practical for day to day deliveries but maybe just ask you never know if your delivery would be quite possible by bike.

Size of package? Well as long again as it practical to carry in a bike I'll take it! Ask you never know ...

Need your masks and other PPE equipment collected or delivered, just give us a call!

23/04/2020

Don't forget if you're making masks and need to get them to your customers or need yours collected from someone making them we're here to help you!

Any day, any time we'll collect and deliver 🚴

Small businesses should be supporting each other it's tough for all of us, looking forward to the calls.

23/04/2020

Those making and supplying masks and other PPE equipment, I often see the question asked 'can/do you deliver?' ... Ever considered that the Bicycle Messenger can collect from you and deliver to your customers?

If you're the one asking someone to deliver, we collect for you no problem!

We are allowed to transport that and at a fee of only R50 which is a fair price considering in most cases the minimum other couriers will ask is around R100.

Over and above that you are supporting a small business which currently has no income at all until the lockdown is lifted!

An observation of the last few days would be that people would still rather go out and risk the spread of CoVid-19 than have their medicines, groceries and other essential goods collected and delivered.

Anyone care to explain their thinking?

19/04/2020

Updated for the period of lockdown! You know you shouldn't leave home so let us collect what you need and bring it to you, quite happy to collect your shopping list and the cash (or collect your cash voucher at the ATM) and then go collect no problem. We can also collect and deliver to anyone you may normally look after (Parents, friends, those without transport or unable to drive, the infirm and ill)

Unexpected/urgent, call we'll help ASAP! Every day, all day during this time

Look after yourselves and don't take any unnecessary risks

18/04/2020

During this time there are no 'normal business hours' so if you need something just call/SMS/WhatsApp/Telegram/Fb messenger (082-652-0112) and I'm sure I'll be able to assist!

Open every day all day from now till the lockdown as it exists today continues 😎

As long as it's 'essential goods' we can move it with our permit

17/04/2020

Since we're all in this together and many sickly and elderly people should probably rather not go out the cost for those trips will be at 50% of the normal price i.e R25

So if you know of or normally care for anyone in that situation please call and we'll deliver to or collect from them on your behalf

We normally don't offer to purchase on your behalf but these are unusual times so if you need this service let us know as well

Not much to say or do here but perhaps today we'll look at the options for being approved as an 'essential' service, who knows?

05/04/2020

I'm sure everyone is seeing enough 'rona virus meme's, conspiracy theories and other depressing news but rest assured the bicycle messenger is keeping on top of his fitness albeit indoors!

As soon as we are released from incarceration he'll be ready to take on your deliveries!

23/03/2020

During this difficult time for everyone and the possibilities of further 'lockdown' restrictions keep in mind that moving smaller items by bicycle is still a viable option.

So if you are not able or do not want to leave your home unnecessarily then this service is still available to you.

As always just a call, WhatsApp, SMS, FB messenger, Telegram is all it takes!

I'll collect those masks, sanitizers and other critical supplies on your behalf, I'll deliver them if you're a supplier. Need to get something to a family member or friend no problem!

082 652 0112

18/03/2020

Can't leave the house to fetch or drop something off in these trying times? Don't forget the bike messenger is still available to do it for you!

16/03/2020

12/03/2020

Lest anyone forget that even though it may rain or even be raining the messenger isn't scared to collect or deliver, he's done it before and will do it again!

Norwegians have a saying “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes”

No Petrol
No Traffic
Free Parking
Pollution Free

Plenty of reasons to use a bicycle messenger today!

Save yourself time and money, get those irritating small things delivered or collected while you carry on with your normal daily tasks without interruption.

Forgotten something at home?
Your kids forgot something at home?
Your partner left something at home?
Need to collect or deliver a document?

I will also collect from your supplier and deliver to you as long as you have arranged collection and done the necessary payment. An example of this is I collected some small car parts from iPop Suzuki in Rosettenville that the customer had paid for via EFT and delivered to his house in Brackenhurst.

The possibilities are endless, if you're not sure if it can be done just pop me a WhatsApp, SMS, Fb messenger, Telegram or even a phone call to check 😎
