I think the only thing to do now is to go through the small claims court, which I have never done before, but at least if I win, the money should come from parcel20go or TNT and not the buyer of the two frames. Ill keep you posted and I really appreciate everyones time and advice :daumenhoch:

You take Parcel2Go to the small claims court on the basis of the information they gave you; they will collect the two parcels and that is who you had the contract with. TNT are the subcontractor to Parcel2go you have no contract with them even though they collected the items; they were acting as if they were Parcel2go. If you win Parcel2go should recover the costs from TNT and so on and so forth. Especially as you have receipts from TNT acknowledging collection of two parcels not one.

Thanks for the encouragement and the advice. I was going to leave it another week to see if the frames turn up and then I will do as advised :daumenhoch: Ill keep you all posted :daumenhoch:

A problem with royal mail is a built bmx is too big to send with them. When I bought my dk, the seller was saying collection only, I managed after a while to pursuade her to post it, it got sent insured for its full value with City Link.
I know where you are coming from, its too expensive and too dodgy sending stuff anywhere other than the mainland.
Fingers crossed the frames turn up and you get sorted out. I hold no hope of ever seeing my skyway wheel, the seller is putting in a claim for it today I think.

The biggest mistake the seller made in your case was putting it in a laptop box that was just asking for trouble.
BTW anyone who sends a bike built is just asking for it to get wrecked, general rule of thumb is you should be able to throw a parcel down the street without the contents getting wrecked because that's the level of unintentional abuse it will get during handling.
Due my location I use Parcelforce via senditnow.com and you can select the amount of insurance cover you want and send a parcel up to 35kg.

I spoke to my seller yesterday and told him I thought it had been nicked cos it looked like a laptop, but it turns out, he said it was in a laptop box, but a blank one. Still had loads of people tell me Yodel staff like to nick stuff though.
