Whom to assign (online) for parcel pick-up in UK and deliver to Europe?
ST1100:
Well, the header already gives it away ;)
I need a carrier whom I can contract online to pick up a parcel (carton roll, holding a bike livery kit for an ST1100) in West Sussex RH15 9TY and ship it to Vienna, Austria.
Already peeked at dhl.co.uk, where I could instruct such procedure (they even accept PayPal, Visa, MC, etc...), but 52 quid for a 2kg parcel seems a bit steep IMHO...
Somewhat cheaper should be avail., even DS sends items for about half that amount...
TIA!
cheers

Try looking up parcel to go online, they are a bit like a comparison website, give you loads of different carriers and prices to look through. Or try a firm called My Hermes, they do international carriage at very good prices, and they take PayPal as well.

Go to www.interparcel.com - you get a large selection of "quotes" once you've entered the details.
I used to do that but Hermes was always the cheapest so now go with www.myhermes.co.uk every time*
* make sure you read the "prohibited contents" list as it is enormous and there's stuff on there that may catch you out!

Thanx a bunch Steve!
GBP 16.85,- for pickup and delivery to Vienna by Hermes sounds much more like it!
I don't think that a plotter cut reflective day-glow foil-set falls into any prohibited group... ;)
As mentioned elsewhere have I recovered an old, badly vandalized '94 ST1100 and rebuild it to police spec (with yellow/amber strobes though) serving as a "marshalling" bike at gatherings, and am still tinkering on a livery for it.
Bluelite Graphics Ltd are very helpful in design and production, but doing domestic business their backing out on organizing the shipment.
Thanx again!

If you get stuck, Burgess Hill is about 15 mins up the road from me so I can collect and ship to you if necessary. James
