Im selling a bike on eBay and have been asked about sending it to N. Ireland
the Bike box i have for it (the one my new road bike arrived in) is on the large size 2m x 1.5m x 30cm roughly
does anyone have any recommendations?
I'll need to have it collected as am unable to take it to depot.
cheers

DO NOT use Paisley Freight.

This is what happened to my Ridley when I used them (who then use TNT) to send my bike this week.

They class the following as 'damaged in transit'

Snapped handlebars
Smashed front left shifter
Bent seat rails
Snapped seat post
Cracked chain stays
Broken derailleur hanger

Bear in ind this was professionally boxed up.
