My bike came from The Electric Transport Shop - IIRC it was sold by the Oxford branch, but they shipped it FOC to the York branch (on a scheduled inter-store transfer) where I picked it up.
Heather's bike came from BikeSeven at Longtown (outside Carlisle, just about on the Scottish border). They packed & shipped it to work - can't recall the shipping cost, but chepaer than a 250 mile round trip for me to collect it.
Be aware that bicycles are suprisingly large when you try to get them in a car. Even with the front wheel out & the handlebars turned 90 degrees (parallel with the frame) it was a tight squeeze to get them individually in the Toyota Avensis estate I had at the time (no hope for the two at the same time) & the latest Raleigh is a similarly "only just" fit in my current Hyundai i30 estate. All our bikes are Dutch-style low frame city/touring bikes with 700C wheels.
HTH,
Nigel B.
