  • Has anyone got a recommended service for sending a complete bike overseas?

  • Whereabouts in the world are we talking?

  • Check transglobalexpress, they have the best quotes for overseas generally. box size 100x30x70 is perfect. Once you go over 100cm in length prices start getting crazy

  • Shiply.com can be good if you're flexible on dates.

  • whatever you do, do NOT use Eurosender. Totally inept/probably fraudulent, advertise service times and dimensions that bear no resemblance to the courier's actual limits/restrictions.

    If EU then you will be best served looking at Parcelmonkey etc for cheapest services. If you can get the max. box length less than 120cm long and 90cm high it'll be much cheaper.

    World-wide and it's a bit harder. I've used P4D's export and import services a few times as they act as a broker and they're pretty good so far.

  • I have just checked Parcel2Go for France -> Edinburgh (for @bazschmaz 's friend) and it comes to £75 insured to £350.

    Size of the box is the main issue, if you can have the combined measurements sub 200cm, then it will be cheaper but you will likely need to remove the forks.

    Cheers
