    I bought a bike from a chap on here. Orange Patriot.....about 37lbs.

    Parcel Force picked it up from him in Kent, and Delivered it to me within 2 days for less than £40....

    Other folks on here have suggested other companies that I think were a bit cheaper, but I can't remember the names or be bothered to search for them.

    parcel2go look to offer business services to home users. Quite competitive from my experience with parcel companies in the past.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
