I have a pair of Zipp 404 wheels that Id like to ship from DK to UK and wondered what the best options are to ship them.

Im selling them, so need insurance (€1600) and also proof of postage.

dimensions H 70cm x L 70cm x W 35cm
weight 3kg

DHL and UPS quotes came out as €240
Is this (a) and error in me filling the quote forms?
(b) what other options do I have?

Id assumed this would cost €50 max
thanks in advance

Try Post Danmark?

I think the quote is now 41 euros with Post Denmark.
Will need a Danish Colleague at work to translate for me as only some areas are in English.


Huge thanks for the tip!
