For Sale: Road/Singlespeed Frames: Fondriest, Alan, Concorde, Gazelle, Mercier, Ridley...

Hi, do these prices include shipping? Your website says free p&p on purchases over £65.

I'm interested in the Gazelle if it is included.

Hi Dale, items for sale on here are seperate from the website. These are only available through the forum at the moment and are at reduced prices for lfgss members. Postage can't be included in these prices I'm afraid.

What would UK postage cost?

UK P&P is £15 via City Link 24, safely packed with pipe lagging & insured to the full value :)

I've found the cheapest and easiest way to post frames if you're taking Paypal is to use the 'postage label' link in Paypal then use a 10% discount code.
This gets the price to around £12 and it means you can drop off any time in the next 5 days at a post office AND you don't have to provide dimensions, just weight.

That would work out at over £15 including packaging & insurance.

Our frame boxes cost £2.50 each and we protect the whole frame with pipe lagging which cost £4-5 per frame, then there's insurance to pay for which is an extra few quid.

We've had frames go missing and be damaged in the past, it's not worth the risk doing it any other way.

Fair enough man, you've obviously got it worked out! I just know what's worked for me and I definitely find Parcelforce easier to deal with than City Link (at both ends).

Obviously you're doing it on a much larger scale than me though, so I'll shut up!

Appreciate the info anyway man. Luckily we're around all day anyway so never really struggle with collections.

From my experience most courier services are a pain at some point, so we have to go with the most cost-effective option as nobody wants to pay £20 for a frame to be delivered. I'd rather go for safe packing & insurance and risk the frame being a day late or missing a collection than have a frame damaged or lose it entirely.

Cheers boss :)
