    Recently moved to NZ and want to ship my bike over without breaking the bank. I can send it with An Post for EUR75 but only insured for EUR100 so I'm a bit hesitant. Has anyone used on post to ship their bike or come across somewhere that isn't going to charge me EUR500. Any help appreciated...I miss my bike :(

    have to say I find that price really really hard to believe. €75 nowhere near that price I say, add an extra zero and that might b it

    Thanks for the replies guys. I had thought about selling it and buying here, but that would involve getting someone to sell it for me and losing a bit on the value (have it less than a year). Will give parcelzone a shout.
