Hi
Ive got a fella from germany interested in buying a frame of me
Has anybody got an idea of a rough shipping cost
And more important can anybody recommend a courier
thanks
Personally I'd avoid - more than likely as soon as you get a quote from the courier (60£?) it'll put him off.....
Just did a quick guide on parcelmonkey with out postcodes - cheapest was £57
just sending a frame to finland with ipostparcels for £26
Personally I'd avoid
Why's that?
Sent a few frames to Europe, inc Germany. Never had any problems. Probably about £40-50.
Try interparcel or parcel2go
I sent a 30 kilo differential to a small town in Italy for around £30 so I don't suppose it will be silly money. That was using UPS via Interparcel
Why's that?
Because most couriers go on package size as well as weight, as soon as you do the numbers it makes it expensive for the buyer who then thinks you are ripping them off.
I've sold loads of small items abroad - but frames are large. Comparatively heavy (when packaged correctly in a box) and you can get just as much cash for them in the UK.
UPS through Transglobal express, £20 ish.
I have used SENDITNOW in the past, both here and in Europe without issue. Pretty cheap too, maybe £20-30 for up to 32kg.
