    Eyeing up a bike on eBay which is located in Plymouth.

    Seller is happy to pack it up and meet a courier etc but not bothered with booking it / any brexit related paperwork.

    Anyone got a lead or contact?

    Pre-Brexit I’ve used dpd via parcel2go.

    Nowadays there’s tariff codes and duty etc to think about but I’d imagine it can still be done albeit with additional cost and hassle.

    It would want to be a really good deal or very desirable bike to take on the potential for the extra hassle now involved with UK purchases, via legit channels or otherwise?

    what would be the difference in the paperwork - if any - if buying secondhand?

    It’s a reasonable deal and we’d like to have it. However I’m not sure if the seller’s patience is going to last.

    Recently got a bike collected from London and delivered to me in Greystones. Can’t recommend the service highly enough. About 4 days door to door via Northern Ireland. Legit service and not expensive. UPS also offer a service that works out at about £85.

    @WOT - if interested I’ll pm you with details of the service I used.

    PM would be appreciated, I’m struggling to get the cost to below £100 with any of my queries.
