bike shipping service from UK to Germany

[speedking]

Hello!

May be someone can help me. I am planning to buy a bike from the UK which must be shipped to Germany.

The seller only accepts to pick up the bike as he is not willing to ship.

So may be there is a parcel service available who picks up bikes and ship to Germany.

Thanks and many greetings!

All the main couriers, DHL, UPS Fedex etc, will pick up and ship to Germany, but can be expensive.
Try UPS through http://www.transglobal.org.uk/Default.a ... tAodKwIAAg

Expect to pay £30-£50 ish.
The seller will still need to pack the bike. Where is it located?

If you are selling a bike you should be willing to to ship if not don't bother selling it on ebay/forums and like which gets a global auidance. If you want pick up only put it in the local rag. I find it really annoying as it not hard to ship a bike, it is pretty easy and you would get a better price.

Parcelforce will do it. I know because a German member just got them to collect some stuff from me.

Pharos parcels (USPS)...used them lots of times to ship frames wheels etc to Europe, never had a problem - a 15kg 120cm x25cm x70cm parcel = £17.84 + 20% VAT.

The problem will be with the sellers inclination (or lack of) to get a box, box the bike up and wait in for the courier!
