Bike shipping and bicycle transport
Road, mountain or city bike: we collect it from your home and take it abroad or, on our own route, from Athens to Messinia and from Messinia to the whole of Greece. We tell you beforehand how to pack it, so that it arrives just as you prepared it.
For a race in another city, for a move, for a bike you bought abroad: we collect it from your home and deliver it to the recipient’s address. Shipping a bicycle needs the right packing, and below you can see step by step how it is done.
How do you pack a bike for shipping?
- A reinforced bike boxthat fits the bicycle without squeezing it.
- Front wheel and pedalscome off, and the handlebars turn parallel to the frame, so that a slimmer box will do.
- Frame and gear protectionfoam on the frame tubes and bubble wrap around the gear system.
- Fillingpaper or foam in the gaps, so that the bike does not move inside the box, with tape on every seam.
Not sure about the size of the box? Call +30 210 34 24 808 with the dimensions and we will guide you.
Can you ship a bike abroad?
Within the European Union
No customs. The bike travels in a box, by express or economy service.
Outside the European Union
Each country has its own rules on customs and duties. Ask us before you pack.
Can you ship an electric bike?
Yes, but only without its battery: the lithium battery of an electric bike must be removed before shipping, and the e-bike travels only once this has been arranged with us by email. Before you pack it, write to us at info@spourgitis.gr with the bike model, and we reply with what applies to your shipment.
Sending the rest of your gear too? See gym equipment, suitcases and box / package.
Sending a box or a small load? See parcel delivery abroad by country and what it costs.

How much does bike shipping cost?
It depends on the weight, the dimensions, the route and the service. You see the exact amount in the cost calculator before you book.
Do you collect a bike from my home?
Yes. We collect from your address, in any city, every day. All shipments abroad go through our two distribution centres, in Athens and Thessaloniki, and leave from there by road or by air for every country. Shipments by sea leave from the Athens distribution centre, through the port of Piraeus.
How is volumetric weight calculated?
Multiply length × width × height in centimetres and divide by 5,000. You are charged the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight. That is why a box sized to its contents costs less.
Can I insure a bike shipped abroad?
Every shipment abroad has basic insurance, and for valuable items extra cover is available. Tell us the value when you book the shipment.
