Hi all,

I need to send my forks off to get serviced. Obviously I can send them Royal Mail Special Delivery, but that'll cost 25 quid odd. Does anyone know of another option? Never really used couriers before - do you have to stay in all day if they're coming to collect?

Thoughts and options would be greatly appricated!

Send them to TFT and pay for the next-day courier service.

Can't you just do them recorded signed for rather than special d?

They're Magura so can't send them to TFT. Will check out parcel2go.

Are your forks made of lead? Cost me £8.65 to send mine SD last week.

I always just send mine by Royal Mail at about £8. The insurance doesn't cost much.

I stand corrected. I sent them last about a year ago, i'm sure it cost 20 quid odd.... I will give royal mail a go.

Cheers people!
