depends on the value, generally if you're insuring it then you'll get bent over by all of them.
Ukmail tend to be pretty cheap for full bikes, otherwise parcels2go and pick the cheapest.
If you get a monkey handling your packages they'll trash it regardless of whom they work for.0 -
I sent a cheaper frame (with crankset still attached) with Parcelforce. Something like £13, from memory.0

I just used iPost (UK Mail). £7.99 for 15kg.
Only used it today, so will post back when I hear how the bike fared...Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -
I used Parcels2go which I think sent via Fedex, to Denmark. All I know is it was cheap and a friendly man picked it up from my house. Awesome.0

Ok, bike was picked up by a friendly guy from iPost (UK Mail).
Delivered next day all for £7.99 + VAT.
That's damned cheap.Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -
It is indeed!
Royal mail standard parcels is £5.30 upto 2Kg and £8.80 over that assuming it has a value of less than £46 (or close enough to to accept the small risk!). Over that and it's £12.30 for over 2Kg, not sure about under!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
