We deliver, whatever it takes
So there you have it. Boxed bicycle deliveries in and around and from the Eastern Cape may have a knowck-on effect to freight that may either be delayed or has to be diverted to other routes before reaching their final destinations. When it comes to most things, mother nature has the final say. Case in point during these adverse weather conditions that may affect boxed bicycle deliveries for #bicyclecouriers and others.
