Hey guys.

I just bought a new bike but it's In Wales. I'm going to drive down on Sunday but if any one knows of a good bike courier they could recommend then I could be persuaded to stay at home and let some one else do the trip for me.

It will depend on how well they package it up
i used paisley freight to send bikes its about £27

if it were me i would go get it.

we drove to york to get a patriot for a mate
the giant i sold someone drove over from germany!

I sold my frame on Ebay and still waiting for UKMail/iPost to pick it up.........so dont use them !. (Supposed to be yesterday 24 hour deliver)

Many couriers put a limit on parcel sizes at about 120/150cm long which is ok for frames but precludes full bikes, above that they charge loads.

I'm happy though that Commencal only charged 14 Euros to send new frame from Andora.

I used APC Overnight to send a guitar....in a bike box as they were one of the few that would cover it not being in a hard case, dimensions weren't a problem and it cost £17. Worth a call?
