A recommendation on this list re. a new UK-based parcel service, Parcel2 Go, has proven immensely satisfactory.
Today I received my '57 Raleigh RRA Moderne (in simply stunning minty original shape I might add!) from the eBay seller in Alfreton, Derbyshire.
The package weighed about 30 lbs total. Complete bike. Insured for £ 275. Cost of shipping: £72. Time of transit: TWO days. Condition of carto n and contents: perfect. And... this was actually carried by FED EX.

They can ship in both directions or indeed around the world.
Takes some of the sting out of the fact the pound is a 14-year-high just when I buy this and the components to go with it.
