Big thumbs up for Jarvis Transport

Just want to recommend Dominic,from Jarvis transport,he inspected ,paid for ,and delivered the bike to my door ,collection in Germany to Kildare
Cost €400 ,he provided paperwork for vrt purposes,communication from beginning to delivery was excellent,buying a bike you've never seen is always a gamble but bit of research,and fact Dominic also inspected it and rang me to say it was as described,and even managed to get a few quid knocked off as well,very impressed as I bought privately,I have no German and seller had little English,so Dominic was able to do all the communication for me and keep me informed.will be using him for next bike collection,uk seems to much hassle I've bought from U.K. Last year but not worthwhile now.

What did you buy

GBX · 25-01-2021 9:35am

Id say more transport companies/man with van will be brushing up on their German going forward. Arse is gonna fall out of the UK-Ireland market for bikes and cars.

Bought a derbi mulhacen 659 ,its for the misses,always liked the look of them ,
Values fluctuate being there not mainstream ,few in the uk ,quite a few in Europe ,spares wise its got the yam xt660r engine ,rest is marzocchi,Sachs,brembo ,out on it yesterday very impressed except for usual bucking bronco on off throttle response,easy sorted ecu reflash,its 08 one owner 9k on clock,bought privately from uk before easy enough ,but language barrier buying private is tricky ,deffo helped having someone that could at least understand some German,always a risk but was only over a couple of grand ,if was big money would probably go dealer.

The arse has fallen out and is dragging on the ground at this stage. Its game over AFAICS.

Germany to Kildare Cost €400

Christ thats excellent value, cost me €330 to get Teds Trucking to grab my last bike, UK to Kildare.

Yeah same used teds trucking last year from uk ,great service,pity the uk is fooked as regards getting anything now.

Can he collect at any location in Germany or does it have to be near certain locations on his route? I know when I used overlanders before it was preferable to collect the bike near their base in Memmingen.

baz69 · 28-01-2021 4:45pm

Yeah pretty much any location as initially i was looking in different parts of Germany ,before i decided on the bike ,he was doing three other collections and because of the location of the bike I settled on wasn't a huge distance from his last collection ,he said he didn't have to drive hundreds of km out of his way,think that's why the cost was probably slightly less than normal cost ,he even said if the bike wasn't as described and had to walk away,he would only charge me for his fuel and time ,only thing there was a bike in Austria that I was really keen on but that would deffo have been more costly as he would have to hire a transport guy in Austria to meet him and apparently getting in and out of Austria is much stricter.

Savage value. How did you contact them initially? I've just sent them a message on FB as I'm interested in a couple of bikes in Germany.

baz69 · 03-02-2021 11:53pm

Hi get him on WhatsApp he should respond fairly quickly,I wouldn't hesitate in using him again ,also used Teds trucking for a uk collection pre Brexit and found him to be excellent as well.

Jarvis transport delivered my Fireblade from Germany and I must say they are the best guys for this job. I contacted Dominic about 2 weeks before bike was collected and he told me straight away dates when they are gonna be in Germany and when the bike would be collected and it was collected when he said it would be collected and also bike was delivered on a day that I was told it would be delivered. Bikes that they are delivering are very well secured and protected so no fear of any possible damage during the transport. I'll be dealing with these guys again in the future. Thumbs up for Dominic and his brother.
