packaging for bikes & frames

Sold your bike or frame on buycycle? Awesome—now it’s time to pack it up safely for shipping. Here’s what you need to know.

Get a buycycle box

For the smoothest shipping experience, we recommend choosing the buycycle bike box during sale confirmation.

  • It’s specially designed for bike transport.
  • We’ll deduct the cost from your final payout automatically.

Prefer using your own box?

No problem—you can use your own packaging if it meets the following requirements:

  • Sturdy and secure: The box must be clean, undamaged, and strong enough to protect your bike during shipping. Avoid patched-together or worn boxes.
  • Correct size: You’ll see the required box dimensions in your sale overview. Sticking to these ensures your shipment is accepted by the carrier.

Forgot to order a box?

If you didn’t request packaging during the sale confirmation:

  • Check with a local bike shop—they often have suitable boxes.
  • Make sure it meets our size requirements.
  • Need support? Contact us via our contact form—we’re happy to help.
