Parcel force - £25 I think...... Depends on the insurance you need to cover yourself for their incompetence.

Cheers B ill get on to that mate. Only sent small items over there and it's never been cheap  and also took a while. Sent bits to France and Germany and it's been quicker and cheaper.

NI is part of the UK and therefore postal costs via the Post Office are standard

NI still ok for Royal Mail, Parcel Force etc. as it's part of the UK.

Only gets a bit crazy with some couriers as they have to cross the sea instead of sending it by road/rail/pigeon and that seems to bother some of them..

If you go parcelforce direct through their website they are a lot more expensive than when I use them through parcel2go.  Usually £13 plus the insurance if you want to insure yourself against their incompetence........

Less than a metre and half. Any frame set can be made to fit. Cut the box down.

The measurements are 135cm  X  80 cm X  20 cm  and it weighs 22nd  it's just the sizero of a normal bike box👍
With all the bubble wrap it is all James in pretty tight.

That's fair enough. Sometimes it's just easier to pay the price :-\

Hadn't realised it was a full size bike box you were shipping.........  :(  Sounds about right when you get past 100cm they all start to get a bit pricey.
