Im selling my road bike "TT" on Flea bay.

I will box up.
Just wondering who uses what service to send and costs.
I would think the bike is 20 Lb
So packing and box on top of that. So 30lb all up 15kg ish.

Turning up at my local PO will upset the staff with a box that big.
So maybe courier- Parcel force (Not sure where to drop that though)

Please advise on your experiences

Used 'My Hermes' to send a snowboard with boots and bindings in a large plastic hardcase shaped like a telescopic torpedo that weighed around 20kg, all good, would use them again.

Try Parcels2go.com, I have used them many times (inc bike frames) with good service.

They are basically a broker for the national couriers, cost will vary depending on location, but I sent a bike frame on a 3 day service for £7.50, costs up to 25kg are pretty flat
