Posting wheels

russyh

Folks,
I am sure this has been asked countless times before, but the search funtion doesn't pull it up. Whats the cheapest or best way to post a set of bike wheels? I have a wheel box and the correct packaging, is it a case of just popping down to the post office?

I use Parcelforce 48... it's 12.60 + 1.20 if you want them insured up to 200 pounds. Haven't found anything cheaper with a proof of delivery

... and yes, down to the post office

Internet based company that uses Parcel Force 48 but they're cheaper and they pick the package up from your house or location.

The problem with these pick up from home options is that they give you unrealistic time windows... you need a day off just to wait for the bloody courier to show up... I find going down to the post office a lot simpler... I know it's open 9-5, I go at my conveneince

Cheers folks, I am not to far from the post office. If they will do it for around 12 quid I can't really grumble
