In the 1920s the Bicester Printer & Stationer ‘Pankhursts’, based in the Market Square, delivered to the local community by bike – 100 years later and our first pedal-powered deliveries started this week.

Coles have teamed up with Bicester Bug, the town bike users group, starting a trial period where we will make the majority of our local deliveries by bike.

Our bespoke wrapping and packaging, all recyclable (even our green mailing bags are compostable and can be used for food waste), is being used for local deliveries to ensure your books are delivered in perfect condition.
