Hi all

Got a frame for sale that finishes tomorrow night and was wondering (yes I know I should have thought of this earlier) who people usually use and likely cost to post the frame to a uk address. Fully packaged frame is less that 10kg in weight and I have put my postage cost on my auction as £25 as I was hoping this will cover it.

Cheers in advance.

    Have always got good deals from https://www.interparcel.com/ even managed to send a gun cabinet weighing about 30kg for just under £20 a little while ago.

    Parcel monkey.

    I've got a frame being collected tomorrow, delivered to Scotland on Tuesday, £14 insured. Boxed and padded it does only weigh 5kg though.

    Another vote for Parcel Monkey here. I sent my shock absorber to Germany via Parcel Monkey. It was a Parcelforce delivery, but booked through the Monkey. Booked on their website late at night, collected by Parcelforce at 9.00am the next morning and delivered in Germany within 48 hours, for half the cost of booking the identical service through Parcelforce themselves.
