Bike Postage

I've sold my h/t and i;m just wondering if anybody has any recommendations for courier companies.

I've tried a few but the dimensions seem to be a tad to large for their services. Any help would be much appreciated

cheers

Have you stripped it down? Tried city link?

Parcel Monkey was the best price when i shipped a frame recently.

I've removed the wheels, handle bars, stem and seat then packed all with bubble wrap. It's by no means completely disassembled due to my lack of knowledge and worrying that i'll do something which I should do!

I'll have a look at at citi link see what their prices are like

cheers for that

Get a bike box from Halfords or LBS for free, take off the pedals and wheels, remove the handlebar and let it hang down.

Place parts removed back in box.

Done.

Companies probably wont accept it unless its boxed due to health and safety reasons iirc.

Parcelforce happily accept them if they're boxed up.

Was that just a frame? As far as I see parcel monkey have a size restriction.

Yeah it's all boxed up.. I got a box from my local store.. problem was I think it was for a fully built bike. I've cut it down to fit the bike though.
