Hi,

I've just packaged my bike up as I've just sold it.

Box I have is 175cm long, 100 tall and 25 wide but I've just had a look online for quotes and they are either saying it's too big and they can't help or it's over £200.

Posting from Bradford to Norwich.

Its currently an XL bike with wheels on and bars taken off. Will I have to remove the front wheel and butcher the box to get it smaller so I can send it by a normal carrier or is there someone out there I can use that doesn't cost almost as much as the bike!

Thanks

Paisley Freight - they have a bike specific service. Used them several times now, zero issues.

Though I've always taken (at least) the front wheel out to get it in the boxes I've had

Cheers @tomhoward.

Looks like my box is too big. 160cm maximum and 120cm in total for height and width so I need to get blue Petering and reduce the box size and remove front wheel.

Thanks
