Pretty sure I was charged about £11 when I posted some alloy ones ages back with Royal Mail.
I think size rather than weight is the cost on these?
Any better options?
Thanks lads!
myherpes allow longer packages nowadays, I think that's an option
RM sent as a tube if it's not a riser but hit and miss depending on the shape you end up with 😉
Ah yes, herpes. Might get a quote from them.
20mm rise 31.8 bar so the "tube"idea is an option.
Cheers!
If you can post them in a tube it's cheaper than £11 with RM.. Different prices for toobs
Anyone know the diameter they specify for a "tube"?
I normally wrap it in the cardboard and try to make it look tube shaped with a kink in the middle and hope postie master accepts it.
The issue with the tube is they then measure round the tube a couple of times then add the length, this throws it over the limit if the bars are too long or your tube shape is too bulky
I can't remember but around a 100cm length with a couple of wraps around the tube. just google RM tube dimension or suffin 😀
I posted a carbon riser 800mm this week. Guy behind the counter tried to charge me more but I pointed out it was a tube under 1m long and was therefore a medium parcel. £5. He shrugged his shoulders and put it through. It Arrived at the buyers house a couple of days later...
I've just price this for a set of 745mm high rise bars. £4 with myherpies (drop and store). Or £4.50 Hermes via interparcel with £50 cover.
do it as a tube shaped parcel, I have just wrapped them in a bit of bubblewrap and then a bin bag over the top taped on wrapped arround
Of course you can post bars almost 90cm long as a medium parcel even without packaging them as a tube 😉
Royal Mail. Length + 2*diameter must no exceed 104cm. Max length must be less than 90cm. Price will be around £4.50
