One that doesn't charge the Earth for shipping a bike and will collect from a Post Office or home address?

I'm thinking DHL, ParcelForce, etc. etc.

Many thanks.

never use postoffice dhl or fedex for parcels in uk and abroad works well for me never had a problem

I've used Parcel2go.com and found their service to be excellent. Cheap as chips too…

I have used interparcel about a dozen time and have always been impressed (most of their services are UPS).

should have read do not use parcelforce all the others are good to go

Parcel2go again

Parcelforce have good insurance too.

I went to my local Post office to post a parcel to Oz and I can track it online.

I posted my complete bike with parcel force recently. It was boxed and in a bike bag – so it was ruddy big and weighed almost 20kg – but I found it hard to find a service whose max dimensions were large enough. Cost £27.50 collected and next day delivery with parcelforce.
