Aaaaargh! Is the air can classed as an aerosol which Are Not Allowed and will Be Destroyed if found? Surely if I let the air out it’s just a collection of metal and rubber parts.

Who would you use to send a £270-ish frame and shock overseas?

If you end up risking, it might make more sense to send them separately.

I shipped a FS frame with shock to Holland by UPS. Full tracking and no issues. Buyer paid UPS charges but I can’t remember how much it was.

Ta for the replies. I think it looks like I’ll either have to refund the postage cost and let the buyer organise their own courier so it’s their responsibility (ie it’ll be their contract with the courier, not mine) or send a refund. The refund might be the least hassle and I’ll just stick the frame back in the cupboard 😆

I used DHL, any of the main, reputable couriers e.g DHL, FedEx/TNT, UPS, DPD etc will be fine.
