DHL? FedEX? Parcel Force? another?
for european delivery of a bike.
no?!
I have used FedEX expensive never had an issue, you could always try Parcels2Go if you wanted to save a few ten pound notes?
Depends what you are sending.
For all my bike related stuff i use 'senditnow' which is essentially parcelforce only cheaper.
I've sent whole bikes 48 hour delivery for £10.99 😀
The driver that picks things up from me said that basically if he could comfortably lift it into the back of the van he had know problem taking it.
am looking into parcel2go, but want to look at other options. will look at senditnow too - thanks!
once i've dimensions for a bike box, ill be in a better position to find a courier i guess. such a pain living abroad and having the bike at an ex's 🙁
'Parcel Monkey' are the way forward my friend!
Your parcel must not weigh more than 30kg, have any one dimension longer than 1.5m, and the total size of the longest dimension added to the size of measuring round the thickest part must be no more than 3m.
sounds like a bike box would be too big for senditnow 🙁
parcel monkey, eh mountainmonkey? how apt!
looks like about 100 quid through them. could be worse 😕
Ooh ouch! I've only really used them for inland stuff tbh, when they've been very reasonable. Sorry I couldn't help more! (Oh and yeah, it was almost entirely down to the name that I first discovered them!)
i think about that is going to be the going rate... first to give me a proper quote anyways...
I used "senditnow" to send 2 bikes I sold on Ebay recently with no problems.
Both packaged in bikes boxes from the LBS and both slightly larger than the max dimensions on their website.
I think if you don't take the p£1s then you will be fine.
