Need to post some forks, given all that hassle that guy had with the shock last year has anybody got any recommendations for a courier?

Hermes, collect plus?

I've used Hermes a couple of times, you need to check the insurance limit tho. Last time I used them it was £250 max.

Forks will be too long for Collect+

Shocks can have sealed compressed gas(nitrogen) in them which royal mail now aren't keen on. Forks don't. If your sending air forks just let the pressure out.

You can send them by Parcel Force no problem will cost £12.98 with up to £100 cover and more for more cover obviously.
The shock business was not what it seemed they are being posted still by RM no problem.

I have received a couple of 2nd hand shocks & forks via RM/PF but would I want to take the risk of sending those things with either of them knowing that there is a chance they might be 'apprehended' and losing all that dosh............ 😯
