Hi Guys,

I need to send a fairly expensive frame (within uk) and i'm having trouble finding a suitable courier/service at a realistic price. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Normally i use parcelforce from the local post office but due to the cost of replacement this is almost £70!!

i need cover upto £1200, ideally no longer than 48hr delivery and even better if i could drop the box off rather than wait in all day for a courier to arrive.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks in advace

    Special delivery should be only about £25.

    I sent a frame with them not too long ago insured for £2000

    Its a fairly large box and about 9kg as it includes saddle, chainset, stems, posts, etc , will SD still be okay?

    thanks for the post :D
