I need to do this but realised I don’t have a fork box any more.

How do you do yours?

Oh, and what couriers will take air forks and shocks these days?

Seriously? 😕

Not Royal Mail, as they’ll probably sell them for you on eBay. Try friendly lbs or friends for a box

I don’t have a friendly local bike shop, or bikey friends.

The whole Royal Mail thing is why I asked.

Plenty of bubble wrap, leave axle in if bolt through.
Wrap in cardboard over several layers.
I use FedEx. Could try parcel2go or interparcel for ordering online

That sort of packing is kinda what I had in mind david. I always feel like a parent sending their kid off to school for the first time when I hand them over to the courier: Packing paranoia is a harsh mistress.

So, this RM thing: I haven’t followed it too closely but is it only RM, or are there others who are following suit?

No everyone else should be ok, discharge fork first if in doubt
