Posting my mtb to new buyer

dyls

Hi,

Hope some of you can help me. I will in a few days have sold my Marin Rift Zone and I am wondering whether anyone can recommend a courier to post the bike. It's too big for DHL/Parcelforce etc?

I have also done a search and can't find any past topics on this subject.

thanks

Blaenau Ffestiniog eh. I used to live in Tanygrisiau :cool:

Try TNT. They deliver bikes to my local shop, so you may well be OK with them. Prpbably cost an arm and a leg though

Thanks guys. Seems like the buyer, if he can't collect will have quite a delivery bill.

Blaenau Ffestiniog = lots of mtb tracks nearby 8) Whereabouts are you now then taliesyn?

Why not parcelforce??? I've had bikes delivered by parcelforce24 from leisurelakes. Is it different for commercial or something?

There is usually a maximum limit of 1.5m long and girth/lenght combination of 3m. Without the front wheel, my bike would be 1.5m long, about 0.35m wide and 1.0m high with the seat down, thus it's too big on the girth thing.

I suspect leisurelakes have a commercail agreement therefore.
