    I see a bike for sale here for 750 , same bike in uk 330 sterling.

    I was thinking of buying the one in UK , bringing it in , by Parcel Motel (NIrl depot) collect in Dublin.

    With the extra weight charge for parcel motel , and free uk delivery ..seems a steal , even with exchange rate etc.

    I am factoring in cycle shop here putting it together..will work out 200 euro cheaper...

    there must be a problem im not seeing!! is there???

    Double check the Parcel Motel cost as they charge based on Dimensional or Volumetric Weight and not just simple weight. If you have something very light but very bulky it could turn out very expensive. It could be €80 to get the bike delivered by Parcel Motel.

    Did you talk with the shop? I have found Irish shops much cheaper than advertised online recently.
