Anyone know of good but reasonable couriers, Europe to UK?

Bought a second hand bike from Liteville in Torbole and cheapest I can get is about £120 to get it shipped to Scotland from the main comparison sites.

Looking for alternatives.

Thanks

I was going to suggest going to your local Hellfrauds and just asking for a box suitable to put a bike in but now I see there's going to be a bike in your box!

Normally I would suggest Shiply where all the removal companies and small couriers can get backloads...but I wonder how much of that work has dried up...even if technically they can travel Europe unrestricted. If you do go for a quote with them, give it a few days, the first quotes are quite expensive I found.

Check a booker, like Sendiroo or Eurosender, they'll search the best prices for you.
Used both in the recent past, good experience

To be fair £120 is fair!

I just spent £65 sending a bike and wheel in no 2 box within the UK
