I received a bike box from the UK - i am in Northern Ireland - it was sent Parcelforce 48 - 48hrs delivery tracked. The box contained 3 frames, groupset, wheels and a few other bits and weight was around 22kg although the docs stated something about volumetric weight being over 57kg if i remember rightly. The cost was £45 ish - maybe £48.
Having read the above i am not sure if it helps but it may give you some idea of cost - one bike will be much less in weight but will be the same size.

Yes sending the same volumetric weight using parcelforce to Europe would be considerably dearer as it is not a part of UK.
Hope that clarifies it.

Problems. The BFPO maxium parcel size is way smaller than a bike box. you post a toddlers bike that way but not a full size one. So sending by Royal mail is a none starter.
This bike given the mudguards will just fit in a 140cm box without the front wheel on. So whoever posted about P4D thanks. That is the way it will be going.
