pretty much the title, anybody know the best option for posting a bike from n.ireland to auckland. will the air have to be let out of shocks etc. any help appreciated ive been looking at buying here but thought i could ship my own bike out.
Used these guys, https://www.transglobalexpress.co.uk/ a few others have. Shipped 7 bikes to Oz a couple of years ago. A standard bike shipping box from a LBS is just about the right size but some are slightly over (just play with the LxWxH) You should get 32kg weight by volume, you will probably need to do customs import paperwork - make sure it's over 12 months old (check NZ customs charges)
Make sure it's spotless too. I packed the boxes out to 30kg to get more stuff out easier.
Edit From memory UPS door to door was what I used and about 200-250/box
You've got to really want the bike there. I looked at shipping a frame for someone through the classifieds and it would have cost him as much to buy mine shipped as to buy a new one.
What about 300?
Make sure it's spotless
