Looking to post a bike tomorrow, for it to arrive within this week. Will be assembled and packed into a box.

My question is.. which courier would be the cheapest?

Thanks for the help in advance!

parcel2go are pretty good.

I hope you mean disassemble the bike and wrap all parts in bubbles / styrene chips, after putting spacers between fork ends, and stout polystyrene corner and mid blocks, in a robust bike box, with plenty of parcel tape, two destination addresses and return addresses.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
