Fedex want £260, and that's before I've even thought about insurance 😯 .

Royal Mail aren't too bad, I got a quote of £125 for a 20 kilo package with insurance to £500 on 5 day delivery to Finland

Thanks Steve, I had a look at the Parcel Force website but it wouldn't quote on line as bike box dimensions seemed to be too big...

Try Interparcel - we've had no problems the odd time we've shipped to Europe.

Blimey, thanks Kazafaza. There's quotes on there starting at £61, which seems to be a bargain 😀

If anyone ever searches for this in future, TransGlobalExpress came up trumps. £55 to post a bike to Sweden via DPD, insured for £997*.

*I should add the caveat that they haven't actually collected it yet, but they're due later today.

Try

www.postagesupermarket.com

There's loads of different couriers on there and they have a phone number (unlike Parcel Monkey).
