Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone had any ideas or experience of shipping a mountain bike to Germany or Europe in general. Any companies recommended? Any to avoid? Good/Bad experiences etc.

For information the bike is a small (16" Orange Five) professionally packed and boxed in a strong cardboard bike box.

Dimensions being 140x80x25 and roughly 25kg.

Any help would be gratefully received!

Thanks

Andy

I have never shipped a full bike out to Germany, but have done frames, components and some pretty expensive and delicate Audio gear.

Ive always used Parcelforce, and never had a single issue.

Ive popped your info into parcelmonkey and her quotes for £12-£18, not bad at all.

This will go up, as I’m presuming you will want to add insurance?
