need to send a carbon frame out in the post tomoz. I've always used parcel force in the past as I work opposite the post office. Any recommendations for a couirer that might be cheaper / better?
Being posted within the UK but a insurance cover of around 450....

+1 for interparcel. 7 quid or so for UPS to come pick up the frame from your house and deliver it next day 😀

parcel2go for me for the last year or two also - excellent and very cheap.

I had to send a touchscreen monitor to Germany for work a week or two ago and it was going to cost me £168 direct with DHL on account. A quick parcel2go quote and exactly the same DHL service taking the same time with the same level of insurance for £38. Go figure....

'convert'
same as me you can go direct to DHL and parcelforce and they cant beat themselves on parcel2go! plus you can set up emails/texts so you know its been picked up and delivered 8)

+1 for Parcel Force and they'll collect from your door. My last bike was about £11 to send.

+1 Interparcel for everything else just about.

Look at parcel monkey, very cheap for light bulky items. Less than £7 last time I used them for 48 hours delivery.
