how to become a courier?

Hello,
Can anyone help me with some information or advice, how to turn into
bicycle couriering in London. I have never done that before, so Id like
to ask where can I get some skills and start doing that.
thanks to everyone

Call a courier company - now is a good time of year to do it, not many people want to work as couriers through the winter. I was a courier in London a few years back - sometimes the best job, sometimes the worst...

Good luck,

Sam

what were the good / bad points...

Hey,

I was thinking of trying it out myself. I received a delivery a couple of weeks ago from a cycle courier in Manchester.
I was wondering how it works:
Do you get paid per hour, assignment, distance?
Can you do it on a part time basis? (Test the water etc.)
How well does it pay? (Obviously it would be less in Manchester compared to London)
Why did you stop?

Calling all Couriers - Answers Pleaaaase !
