Hi,
A friend of mine has been told she can have her sister's bike (it's a nice new road bike) who has an arm injury which means she can't ride it anymore. Obviously this is good as the bike is worth at least £500 and is in good condition, the right size etc etc.
Trouble is, her sister lives in Munich and so she is wondering how hard it would be to get it sent over to London and more importantly how much it would cost. Now perhaps I was naive but I kind of thought it might cost £100-£150 but DHL have quoted £270! Anyway that sort of makes the whole thing pointless so I thought I'd ask you guys if you have ever arranged something like this and how much it cost you?
I suppose she could fly out there, collect it and bring it back for much less than this. I wonder also if breaking the bike into pieces and reassembling might be cheaper.
Any advice or ideas for how to do this would be very welcome.
Cheers.
