Getting a bike on a plane is one thing. But using a courier to ship it from the UK to mainland Europe is another.
I am looking for a hard shell bike box, ideally something small to fit a 54cm carbon frame set and wheels in.

I don't want to use a soft bag when they might be chucking it around everywhere.

Anyone do this often, post sold bikes abroad? any good companies? What are good hard shell bike boxes to look for?

Thousands of carbon frames come over from China, all in carboard boxes with packaging and fork spacers. That's what I would do.

True, but they are most likely handled a lot better than a pissed DPD driver at 7am or an airport luggage hand baller at 11pm..? And stacked in unison so as to create a more rigid don't fuck with me structure. ?
