Shipping a bike frameset from USA to Europe
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
Hi,
Any of you who have experience in shipping a frameset to Europe?
What is the cheapest, yet still reliable, non-boat method?
I need the frame from New York to Denmark.

I'd guess it's USPS. Use a box within their max dimensions. It's all on their site.
There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?
One.
So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

USPS is the cheapest.
I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

Use "Priority Mail" service where available.
These are the general restrictions for Priority Mail -
USPS Guidelines for shipping to France. (66lbs limit for most levels of service)
USPS Guidelines for shipping to Denmark. (66lbs limit)
All Countries
66lbs <-> 29.9kg = at least 4 UCI limit complete bikes or 2 complete bikes with their equivalent weight in cardboard and packaging.
That's per shipment. You could also ship things separately without restriction as long as each package is less than the limit.
Size limit for the package is typically this:
Maximum length: 60 inches
Maximum length and girth combined: 108 inches
How to get those measurements?
