Anyone have any experience in shipping a full bike to France?Need to get a price for sending the Raven.

Good find!would you want it un-insured?

 

[jskdog]

Just rough the price finder thing and the only option coming up is letter or small packet, dont think I can get away with a bike as a small packet?

 

[jskdog]

This is useless!Fedex's website have told me the package and weight to send a bike is too large and they cannot offer a service, had one quote for £120!!!!Surely there has to be a reasonable courier somewhere?

What size box you got??

 

[jskdog]

just a standard one from halfords, been on wheelcourier.com and they advertise shipping a bike for £50 but not sure if they are a reliable courier service?

Smaller you can get the box once all in it the better

I would cover it for full amount going abroad aswell though.

Just got quote a box 140cm by 25cm by 70cm weighing 20kg full cover of £500 insurance

Cost £84.24

Where was that from?I've had £120 as the cheapest so far

Fedex
