Need to arrange a courier to pick up a bike from down south (I'm in Scotland, anybody any suggestions as i have never had to do this before.

Parcel2Go, CityLink, DHL, anybody will wreck it for you.

Interparcel worth a look too. They use Fed Ex as well as DHL now.

Depends on your needs.

Do you want it destroyed, stolen or simply lost? 😉

hmmm.. oh joy 😯

Interparcel look like a good bet.. although shiply.com looks interesting.

Shiply have got us a deal on moving from Ireland to Brighton. 18 months ago it cost us £1400 with no furniture. Now we have a bit more furniture and it is costing £450. I know that shipping has been affected by the recession but it is a pretty impressive saving, and that is collection on the Saturday and delivery on the Sunday so I will be following them all the way!

Honestly – just take the best quote for you particular parcel, they all seem to do different deals for any given size/weight

99% of the time it'll be OK – the other 1%?

just make sure you pay for enough insurance cover too
