    Looking to buy a bike of ebay but most arent interested in packaging it up and taking it down to their local PO. One lad qouted £100 for UPS, so was wondering if anyone ever used a Uk courier to ship here and if so did you find it reasonable?


    Thanks

    Try these. Cost me £60 to ship 4 alloy wheels and 4 tyres (80KG) with this crowd. UK to Ireland.

    Got a qoute from them for £50 to ship a push bike from the UK to here, which I am going to go with. IT only weighs 28-30lbs so I presume the high cost is due to its ackward size. For future buys like this has anyone got any other suggestions

    Thanks

    Cubix - I would be surprised if you are buying new that the item isnt packaged.

    I would check that.

    Ive brought stuff from the states for cheaper than £100
