Greetings Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 That's the stupidest quote I've heard in my life. EMS is a good service to use within Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planet x alan Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 That's the stupidest quote I've heard in my life. I'll drive it to france myself for you for £789. I bet you could send it on a pallet for much less than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'll drive it to france myself for you for £789. I bet you could send it on a pallet for much less than that! I'll ride it to him in France for £500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob. Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'll ride it to him in France for £500. No you wouldn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Try Tuffnells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) No you wouldn't. I've ridden to Paris and back in 3 days, and I've ridden 130 miles in one day. And I'm also trying to plan a ride to Rome next year. Trust me, I would. Edit: But not for free!

Matthew62 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 But only if it's there birthday - not in advance or belated. Anyone en-route can you supply OnzaKid with your birth dates please. If you pass London then unfortunately your too late for mine, so not to worry.

AdamR28 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 What's the box size? Many couriers have a length that, if you go over it, it's classed as 'freight' rather than a standard parcel, and thus loads more expensive...

J.KYDD Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 The company I work for send out full built bike boxes (bars only need turning sideways) all over the UK/world Currior we use is Tuffnells but I've just been told they are business only. Using Parcelforce, splitting the bike into 2 boxes will only cost you £60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Clayton Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 its just an average box size which bikes come in!! i.e onza box. Front wheels out and bars+ stem are also off!! fits in perfect thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Cool - well the threshold is sometimes 125cm, so exact dimensions would be useful... Try interparcel and world options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
