[Closed] Bike delivery

parcel2go.co.uk

My LBS ship a lot of bikes. They will ship it via TNT for a reasonable fee.

Maybe a shop near you offers this service?

I have just rtried putting those dimensions into TNT , and they reckon £200 for delivery!!!

what am i doing wrong?

I guess they have a long running contract? CRC shipped my bike Parcel Force just said 'beyond standard dimensions' on the label

That said, UPS only quoted $150 to ship a bike from US in 8 days...

HDN are quoting £20+vat;

I've assumed 20kg which is quite generous.

mostly it's cost me about £15 to post bikes in the past.

Cheers

Thanks for that

parcel to go are cheepest, if you actualy measure a bike box they do fit (just) within the guidelines.

i used senditnow this week cost me 12 quid for next day delivery

senditnow +1

Senditnow.com will post bikes for £10.99 48 hour. Used them lots. It's just Parcelforce really but they don't care about the weight/dimensions too much.

cheers guys, problem sorted

Senditnow are quick. the weight is all they ask. size not a problem so long as its boxed properly

We ship bikes with TNT every day with no problems. Maybe having a contract with them means different rules though.

Interparcel - sent a bike with them using UPS, delivered the next day and only cost £7.99! The box was a few centimeters over the max dimensions but never caused a problem.

+1 for this they delivered a long item in a cardboard tube that was a metre too long by their criteria and they didn't mind

Whenever Parcel Force give me grief online i just leave it with my Post Office.....and then Parcel Force pick it up.
