MyHermes £12 F&F

Box has to match to there specific dimensions though ...(or be under)

I always try and modify each box that I send......use a stanley knife and make the box fit perfectly around your bubble wrap/packaging. Its a little bit of aggro but an empty space is wasted dosh

Get it as small as you can within reason and you cant go far wrong.....parcel2go will also quote you for tnt and city link for a similar 12 to 15 quid......upto around 20kg

As Dave suggested it should work through P4D.
I would insure it too.

you may find you've entered your measurements in MM and they should be CM

I sent frame, forks, stem, calipers, levers, chainring, Powerdisc etc etc to Dan today with senditnow.com........ It weighed 6kg.

£20.45 insured at £300 guaranteed 24 hours.

Would have been just over 12 quid without insurance.

They don't ask for dimensions, only weight.

Myherpes has always been consistent for me.

They have drop off shops, I just go in and give it to the lady behind the counter.
