Hi, looking for a decent courier to send a bike frame with reasonable levels of insurance and tracking facility.
Can you recommend one and roughly how much do they charge. Thanks

Never sent a bike. Bikes have different weights also.

i've started to use interparcel for my business, seem pretty good. cheaper than the post office, faster, tracking, and they collect from me.

I used paisleyfreight, once to send some kayak paddles. I know it's not strictly an answer to the question but they got good feedback on ukriversguidebook (stw for canoeists) and they were pretty reasonable and everything was fine.

£15 sounds more like it Bren, parcel monkey look to come up more expensive. Thanx, will probably do PF

+1 for parcel2go just type in the dimensions etc and then comes up with a selection of company's and prices.

parcel2go and interparcel are both fine until the subcontracted company doesnt turn up on the day chosen for collection - then it goes to pot big time.
They cant / wont deal with problems at all (well they do as little as possible to help) and will NEVER refund the cost even if you have to organise a separate courier to get the goods delivered.
I use both for work - 80% of the time its ok, but the 20% of late collections boils my ****.
For a bike - personally - I'd use Paisley or Parcelforce.

senditnow.com: cheap web-front on parcelforce, rather than using subcontractor. Never had a problem with them.

Gwizzcouriers - they use UPS or City Link and insurance cover is cheap.
Less than £10 inc insurance last time I sent a frame with them

I asked this the other day and Gwizz were mentioned, not sent anything yet but their prices with compensation are very good.
So I'll be using then next time I post a framePosted 4 months ago #
