I've got to send a frame to The SeatpostMan, he's recommending cyclecourierco , they charge £65 each way fully insured.And I don't need to box it up .

Parcel force 24 are £15.35 with £150 insurance, no where near the value but a heck of a lot cheaper! If I could trust it would get there I know which I would choose. Not sure if you can increase that cover ? 

I'll have a look at Parcel 2 Go look for other options.

Any experience with either of these ?

When I put the value in on Parcelforce it shot up way over £100 ! 🙄

I sent a whole bike way cheaper than that, although the value of it wasn't very high. Got a quote from Paisley Freight I think it was, and it actually went with APC. Had to drop it off at a local depot.

Last time I used Parcel Force they lost my frame and were absolutely dire to claim from. I’d never recommend them.

I posted a Canyon Dude frame that I sold on eBay via Parcelforce for about £14 the other day, no drama.

Roly I always use Parcelforce. Sent over 20 frames down the years with no issue. Do collection from my door. Leave it out for them to collect.  Follow everything to the letter. Obvs always a personal risk involved. Bet its the rajin?

Andy not the Raijin , that's still chugging away 13 years and over 20000 miles later , Seatpost always comes out sweet as you like 👌

The frame in question is one I've wanted forever now I wish I'd never bothered 😞
