I have been reading posts on here for quite a while, and have also been checking out all the videos I can find on youtube... Finally decided I should get myself a pair of pro-jumps. I was all set to place the order and fill in all my card details when I realized it says they will only send to the billing address and not elsewhere... seeing as I have to work during the day like most people I was rather hoping I could get them delivered to my parents place as they are retired or to where I work... do pro-jump make any exceptions?

or does anyone know what shipping method they use? Royal mail? DHL? some other company?

THERE IS ALWAYS THE EVENTIAL OPTION OF COLLECTING FROM THE LOCAL DEPOT ooops soz 4 shouting

binop9 · « **Reply #3 on:** May 01, 2010, 04:35:39 PM »

Mine where Shipped by a company called DPD but im not sure what they where shipped by before DPD got them.

best person to ask is Naz ( webmaster ) or as Q said there is always collecting from the depot if they allow that? :S

and Q your excused for shouting - we know you didn't mean it

Bbmthbloke · « **Reply #4 on:** May 01, 2010, 04:41:24 PM »

think kevin the cat walked on keyboard ...well im blaming him. I picked up a 'phone from DPD last week as i wasnt in as it happens. They do a repeat attempt next day. After that u can request a different delivery addy , but the send has to agree, dunno if PJ do that.

The depot was about 5-6 miles from me. On edge of bournemouth rather than central. Now if used Royal Mail, no probs, not only is the delivery office only a 13 min walk away but i also work there

You can also do a bank transfer which allows you to send to someone elses address, that's what I did. PM/email Naz, she'll tell you how to do it :}

FunkyCowie · « **Reply #7 on:** May 01, 2010, 06:53:49 PM »

I just went ahead and bought them and will likely collect from depot, I can't wait any longer

You do realise, if you phone them up and say you want the shipping address to be different from the billing address you can do it like that, If I remember correctly the number is...
01772 792600
Hope this helps

I also considered that I would likely not get to pick up the parcel from my parents place till next weekend as they live 25 miles away and the nearest depots for most couriers are closer and more accessible during a break from work

Mine were shipped by DPD and my nearest depot was 30 miles away.

Might be worth a quick google to find the nearest depot.

2 nearest depots, one being within 16 miles of where I live and straight forward, the other is nice twisty route so straping the box to my Nexus will be fine

I know the box is big so I won't be able to enjoy the twisties too much but still

Jason · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2010, 11:16:33 AM »

I managed to get mine home in the box on a 125 traily on 2 occasions so you should be fine just take loads of bungees

FunkyCowie · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2010, 12:30:13 PM »

I'm sure it'll be fine on the back of this as it has a bit more of a substantial rear end than a traily

LOL @ scooters

FunkyCowie · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2010, 04:31:09 PM »

Why laugh?

Jason · « **Reply #17 on:** May 03, 2010, 08:44:06 PM »

Yep bit more room on the back than on mine

although I have a custom rack on the back and a backbox which makes it easier

I havn't taken any pics of mine yet and couldn't be a**ed to get it out of the garage in the dark to take one

So heres the press shot of it
Yo gotta admit it's S*xy and great through London rush hour

Bet you have no probs getin up and down the steps to the tube stations on that Jas!

FunkyCowie · « **Reply #19 on:** May 03, 2010, 09:37:20 PM »

That is nice looking

Didn't realize you could get back boxes for them... can't imagine what it would look like.

dark-castles2 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 03, 2010, 10:01:11 PM »

i prefer jason's actually

sports bikes (or even lookalike 125s) are just kinda boring, my brother doesnt understand how i can say this and looks at me blankly when i bluntly insult his shiny triumph

dark-castles2 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 03, 2010, 11:49:57 PM »

lol, It is a 125, not meant to look like a sports bike, Very powerful 4 stroke engine.... really does not sounds like a 125

Also very reliable becasue it is a Honda and is a 10 plate

only £2.5k

I love how cheap things are today

I've always liked the look of the CBR but I just prefer auto transmission, I love my Nexus 500 to bits

dark-castles2 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 04, 2010, 06:57:01 PM »

Nexus is nice but CBR has more to it, some reason I feel a lot more comfortable on it
