    Hi,

    Anyone recently send a frame only to the UK.

    How much did it cost and with which company?

    Thanks.

    Yup, I returned a frame to Planet-X with the parcel shop. I think it was around €36. I think the cheapest option is probably with An Post.

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks for your response. I've had a good quote from Shiply already. Anpost seem way too high given the volumetric weight- or I could be doing it wrong!

    Parcel shop, are these the GLS guys. Where was the place you brought the frame if thats the case? E38 appears an excellent price for a shipment of this sort to the Uk.

    Yeah GLS.

    It may have only been €32, my package was XL sized (oh er):

    The store locator won't work on my computer here in work, but iirc it was on Conway Court near Pearse St (Dublin).

    Oh and the insurance included only covered up to €350. The frame was worth a good bit more but I didn't ask if their was extra coverage, I just took my chances.
