Always hated the idea of shipping a bike im selling but got to the point where i have no choice at the moment, just can't sell my P7 locally but had a few offers if i courier.

Tbh i prefer to hand a bike over, you can see the condition have a nosey etc... i know the bike is in great condition but after a trip round the uk in a van will it still be.

A couple of questions any recommendations for a courier? obv not yodel!! has anyone shipped in a bike bag? or do they insist on boxes? jut think my bike bag might be more robust for shipping reasons.

Also if anyone wants to buy my p7 local to birmingham will help me out! lol

Box from lbs or Halfords, www.senditnow.com (Parcel Force in disguise), wrap bike well with bubble wrap or cardboard between frame, wheels, etc., wait for courier to collect.

Bosh! Job done. Done it loads of times with frames..

Recentley used a company called paisley freight. registered mine and the buyers details online, half an hour later it was picked up, 24hrs later it was delivered to the buyer.
Did as Rickos suggests with the box and packaging.
