    Hey Folks,

    New to this board and kinda new to cycling again after a few years. Grabbed myself a great bargain on Ebay. A brand new Specialized Pro Disc for €500. Only problem is the shipping company I paid in the UK are a disaster.

    Any ideas on how I can get it over to Dublin, who's the best, cheapest etc?

    A great board by the way....

    Many thanks.

    One of my mates runs his own UK/Ireland Transport Company
    Tell him junior sent you and explain to him what you want doing.

    get back on to the shipping company and get some clarity from them, if you paid them to deliver and they have not, you either get your cash back and get them to deliver it to another delivery company or get the police involved as non delivery is actually theft.

    you should get them to deliver it and then get a refund from them.

    Hi,just replying to ur shipping question, i would have to say u.p.s. are by far the best company when it comes to shipping,ur best option and cheapest is to ship it standard by u.p.s this only takes 2-4 days at max. Not sure of cost it will depend on the weight and size of box it comes in,just make sure u get the shipper to put plenty of bubble wrap or good packaging on it before shipping to u to prevent any damage to it... ups phone no. is 1800 575757........ Hope this helps mate and best of luck with ur new bike... Brian...
