I need to send a bike via courier but have never used one before. If you've used one recently, who did you use and how much did it cost? Did they collect from your home? The bike will need shipping from Swansea to Coventry.

Thanks in advance.

    I have used Parcels 2 Go to send a frame to Portugal and they were cheap as chips (£28)....they collect from your home but use the likes of DHL, FED Ex etc but are less than half the price another is myHermes...

  • I've used parcel2go and myparceldelivery. Both reasonably priced, and both offer great service!

    I am sure the question is asked for a reason, why would you feel the need to lie?

    I used this website once - fine & well priced.

    Parcel Force 48 are generally OK too - although one time they were very late with pick up...
