Bike Couriers???

I had an oddity today, agreed a deal, told the seller I would arrange a courier... Parcels2go wouldn't take it based on the dimensions.... 165x100x35 14kg.

I found it really strange :? Who is best these days to send a bike box?
 
It is no guarantee but I hav found being a little liberal with the estimation of dimensions has allowed stuff through parcel 2 go previously without issue.
 
Paisley Freight

They'll courier a bike for £21.50.

Used them for bulky items before (car bumpers etc) great service and they don't seem too fussy if something is a little over the weight/size.
 
I just used parcels2go to ship to Frankfurt, actual carrier was FedEx, parcel dimensions were 165, 74, 20 & wt 18kgs.

Cost was v reasonable, £35 inc insurance and although they quoted 5+ days it arrived in 2 days.

Maybe try selecting a different carrier on Parcels2go?
 
From personal experience I'd say avoid Parcel2Go.

I purchased a bike from here, but it never turned up. Apparently it was signed for, but no one can tell me where.

Parcel2Go have been completely useless. They subcontracted out the delivery to Yodel, but I can't speak to Yodel as I'm not the customer. I can't even speak to Parcel2Go as they don't have a phone number. Even if I could they would not deal with me, only the sender.

They have repeatedly delayed the claim and done nothing. Yodel now say its past the 28 day limit for a claim.

The sender has offered to refund me 'if and when' Parcel2go refund him.

So now it looks like I've got to take the seller to court to get my money back for something I paid for in December.
 
Parcel monkey have been cheap for me in the past

Think they use city link & it was about £10 next day recorded
 
I noticed that 'no phone number' thing and it seemed odd. Guess they dont want the hassle of lots of enquiries relating to a multitude of courier firms. Frustrating as a consumer though.

Parcel monkey...checked also and was a no go but I have used them before with success. Thanks for reminding me :D
