Ask them to arrange?

My first point of call would be to ask the bike company to quote for them doing it. It'll probably be cheaper.
Otherwise try parcel2go

I did it myself - just through Royal Mail which cost about £11 IIRC. The chinese company paid me back in carbon fibre bottle cages 🙂

Oh, just remembered that they asked me to cut out the broken section only so it wasn't a full frame I was posting back.

i'll have a read thanks nemesis, so you just went into the post office with a box and sent it to china? cheapest I can find is £100. edit, just read it was only a section of frame

I remember seeing that thread, I was hoping that's what they would ask for, but they seem adamant on having the whole frame.

Basically, yes but obviously it was only a small box.

I guess you need to tell them the cost and get confirmation that they'll cover it (not sure how though unless there's anything else you want from them)
