need to post a bike.
Looking at parcelforce it will cost close to £50.
Must be a cheaper courier somewhere??

found one myself, for anyone interested, Paisley Freight ship a bike for £23, then a bit more for extra insurance. Next day too.
So, for the cheap bike I was posting, £30 in total.

I did a whole bike with parcleforce for £23.. just make sure its under 1.5m and under 30kg. Should be able to take wheels etc off and cut a bike box down. Oh and dont use them if it has suspension.....

daftvader, I tried that last night, box was 1.4m, but it still came up on their calculator as "large". They have some calculation that height*2 plus width*2 plus length must be less than 3m.
Cheapest I could find was £35 plus £5 for insurance, plus VAT.
It's booked with Paisley Freight now anyway
