Walleee Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Folks, Im just off the phone with parcel2go who say they wont deliver my parcel to me as it is over 4 cubic feet. Usually they would add a surcharge because the parcel is too big but because its going to Northern Ireland they wont send it at all.I'm totally at a loss as to what I should do here. The person selling the bike has my money but it seems that im not even going to be able to get the damn thing sent over here. I phoned parcel force who also said they wouldn't send a parcel of that size for me...Anyone who has experiance in sending bikes etc can you PLEASE inform me of the best way to do it. Of course its possible for it to be done other wise the mail order companies wouldn't be here.What parcel carrier will take a bike from england to ireland?

Matt_Tupman Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Can you no just ask him to take the bike apart more and make the box smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 or ask him to send it in two seperate parcels? so they are both smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Can you not get the guy to get the bike back then take it apart and put the wheels ect to the side of the frame ?Or something like that.Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 He got a box from his local bike shop and its all been in there since xmas its just been major hassle trying to sort out delivery with xmas holidays and all that. Ive got it arranged now to be collected on thursday,so I guess itll be ok, im just having to pay nearly 60 quid to get it sent to me which is a bit of a downer.....At least ill know to either make an agreement with a seller regarding postage, or to know 100% how much it will cost to get something sent to me...... Typical Northern Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosts_cloak Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi, when I was selling my Santa Cruz Bullit at first I couldnt find a courier who would send such a large item (I got a Cannondale box from a local bike shop to put it in) for less than £70. Eventually I sent it with Initial City Link who didnt have a problem with the size, (green and yellow vans) for a reasonable price. city linkGood luck!~Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
