Pack it in a box and contact either senditnow.com or parcel2go.com

+1 for parcel2go.com

And between you and me, fiddle about with the dimensions a bit because it makes a big difference to the cost! Usually the couriers don't mind if the box is a little bit bigger than what they quoted for

I've used P2G a few times recently and have always gone with City Link next day delivery. Hasn't let me down yet touch wood!

Get a box from halfords, they are generally better for getting boxes from than local bike shops, from my expirence

Just used senditnow (who only sub out to parcelforce) for the princely sum of £9.99+vat, 48hr delivery, insured to £50.

sent a frame during the week with parcel2go.com for 8.99+vat. THe dimensions were 120cmx23cmx60cm, originally i put the 23cm in as 25cm and it more than doubled the price :shock:

With parcel2go try asking on the "live chat" about box size to enter for a bike box. The two bikes I've shipped went via their "Parcel2Go Large (HDNL) £19.99 + vat service.
