Parcel Force
DHL
Parcels2Go

Not massive differences in price (£10 - 15) and all have served me well, just depends on the most convenient for you i guess.

I use DHL via www.ppwexpress.com. It'll cost you £7 to post a frame on a 1 to 2 days service, or £7.50 for a 24 hour.

I had an issue where DHL failed to collect and ppwexpress were incredibly helpful - answered the phone immediately, rang me back, etc.

Have always just used Royal Mail Standard Parcels - lots of bubble and bike box from local shop. Fully insured if required, takes around 1-3 days and costs around £10 to £12. No problems yet with quite a few sent.

I havent used the others, so i dont know if this is standard practise, but parcel2go actually collect, rather than having to take it to some delivery depo

Another yes for parcel2go and their european service was damn fine too

I had a frame sent from crow down south to the north of Scotland and the, as Kaiser says, barstewards, charged £55 :shock: This was after qouting £18 and delivering. They came back and asked for the difference.
I have always used royal mail and it always comes in under £14.

Cost me £19 to send a bike and stuff package to Devon with parcelforce 24
Despite all the horror stories from royalmail/parcelforce,id trust them more than other smaller companies to get there undamaged ,as long as its tracked ,recorded and insured and thats usually not too expensive things go smoothly

parcels2go for me.

However DHL (parcel2go are the middle men) did fail to pick up on my last parcel :evil:
