Boxes are same as parcelforce ie should not have one side over 1.5m and 3m in total circumferance. Hard to fit a bike in a frame sized box. Although you and many seem to have been ok with larger boxes, assume you just put in smaller when ordering?Barneyballbags":2mn5i7xf said:I should have mentioned that I now use http://www.senditnow.com to send things such as complete bikes. They are a subsiduary of Parcel Force and they just go by weight, so the size of the box doesn't matter (within reason). I've sent various bikes of varying sizes with them and I've never had a problem.
If you choose their 48 hour service (about £13), they usually deliver it next working day if they can too

They are the single most inept, incapable, shower of sh*t excuse of a courier company I have ever had the misfortune to use.
Unless, of course, you count "good service" as physically running over a bike and then taping it all back up in the hope I won't know, and then REFUSING to pay me a penny in compensation because I couldn't prove it was them who ran it over...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You would have more luck putting your bike in a Trebuchet and launching it in the general direction of where you want it to end up. I would bet on it arriving quicker and in better condition than if you let the Yodel circus anywhere near it.
