Post by: GavinDavis on July 23, 2013, 10:37 PM: I always try and modify each box that I send......use a stanley knife and make the box fit perfectly around your bubble wrap/packaging. Its a little bit of aggro but an empty space is wasted dosh :daumenhoch:

Get it as small as you can within reason and you cant go far wrong.....parcel2go will also quote you for tnt and city link for a similar 12 to 15 quid......upto around 20kg :)

Post by: stevesredvxr on July 23, 2013, 10:51 PM: I sent frame, forks, stem, calipers, levers, chainring, Powerdisc etc etc to Dan today with senditnow.com........ It weighed 6kg.

£20.45 insured at £300 guaranteed 24 hours.

Would have been just over 12 quid without insurance.

They don't ask for dimensions, only weight.
