Would you? Who would you use? And how would you go about secure payment?

I bought my Stumpy off a fella from here based in England. Not sure which courier he used but it turned up*. I don't use paypal so set up a bank transfer to pay him.

* Dropper was knackered, brakes pads were worn to the plate and the tubes were welded to the inside of the tyres but i don't think you can blame the courier for that 😆

From Ireland to UK, I always use GLS, they're cheapest by miles and never had an issue.

So it's not something I should be worried about on principle?

Would you tend to PP goods and service and damn the expense for security?

Also, any experience of Cyclesent? I have frame boxes but nothing big enough to take a whole bike.

I noted Cy at Cotic saying recently that their whole bike box was available as a flat pack item, how does anyone else cope with packing whole bikes if they don't already have a suitable box?

Sorry for the questions, I'd sort of envisaged only selling face to face so wasn't really expecting this!
