£750 value.

Cheers

I used transglobalexpress a few years back for 6 bikes...

They are a broker who specialise in international  stuff, you may need to tweak the box dimensions down a little to get under a specific number. Also you will need to complete customs decs for import to Oz (or the receiver will) make sure it's clean too. Though for £750 it might not be that economic/

Ok will look at them ta.

Did one guestimate with weight and size on parcel monkey was coming back at £360 🙂

I think under 120cms is the magic number.

You get a max size parcel which is 32kg Volumetric weight which is the magic number for air freight and travel, go over and it's normally a lot more, Smaller box or droppig the height works.

Remove the wheels and forks, send wheels separately.

Ensure that nothing, nothing, can move in the box.

It's been a while since I've sent anything to Oz but you should be able to do a bike for less than 150.

Also at that price if you are not posting to yourself there may be import duties/taxes payable
