ghosts_cloak Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hiya guys! Im trying to send my DH bike to the other side of the country (ebay) and have got myself a nice big bike box from the LBS. I think the whole package will weight about 25kg and the box dimensions are : 1.4m*.87m*.29m. Parcelforce: "The box is too big we cant carry it sorry" DHL: my online quote came to over a grand???! Citylink (best so far): "next day for £40 if what you say is correct" Any other suggestions? Im looking for cheap and reliable over speed (hopefully under £40). Thanks a lot! ~Gareth ps: I looked in the faq on the buy/sell section but didnt find much help regarding sending such a big heavy item.

MrMonkey Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Have you got the bars on still (Y) because 0.29m is pretty fat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Have you got the bars on still (Y) because 0.29m is pretty fat. ← Not really that fat, its only 29cm wide, dont forget, the bike is actually WIDE, not paper thin (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo™ Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 It's not a foot wide when you take the pedals/bars off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
