The chaps from STITCH reached out to us and made the case for including apple pay. Which we promptly added. Giving you another payment method. And us another fallback option. Because it is all about choice. And contingencies. Everyone wins. Including STITCH who collect a handsome fee on each transaction. Let’s go!

Friday fun
Black Friday. White Friday. This Friday. Every Friday. Our prices are great value and stay the same all year round. Rather than give you a discount on an inflated price for a single day we just have the same rates all the time. Isn’t that what you would expect from your bicycle courier?

Canoe!
Nope this is not the next TOLLA joke. Those were the days. But because #bicyclecouriers can send all items big and small (prefer the former, where our competitive advantage lies). You can now send your canoes and kayaks to and from the coast. And back home after the holidays. As on Send your CANOES & KAYAKS to the coast and back
Apex co
Nathen send many bicycles through our network. And when I received a call from one of his potential purchaser on bikehub to check him out. I decided to have a look at the listings in both CPT and DBN and decided to write something. For future reference. To put everyone at ease. See Buy with confidence: Nathan Lock & APEX Co
