Title: Courier help ASAP!
Post by: munners on February 09, 2009, 09:23 AM

Bought a bike and its all boxed and ready to go. The deal is that i have got to arrange for a courier.

I have tried 'parcels to go' who wont do it as the box is too large, 'parcel drop' who want £70 to do it due to the box size and DHL who want £140! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

The bike is in Middlesbrough. Anyone know any companies up there?

Cheers Nick

Have a look on ebay. i sent a small pressure washer last week via parcelforce it was 23.99 box was small so woud be surprised if a full bike would be cheap.

Ive just tried interparcel who dex dexter gave me. £60.

Parcel force will do it for £25!!!!

Good old parcel force.

How much in kg do you reckon a bike box will weigh? I thought 15kg? ???

a bike with the wheels and bars off should go in a box 100 x 60 x 30cm and then you get the best rates from parcel2go or parcel drop.
