Importing a Bike

Hello I am reaching out to anyone In the UK to help me get a frame from Chain Reaction. Anything helps, right now I can't find any bike shops to ship it or any parcel forwarders for under like $400 I have got quotes for a parcel forwarder for around $200 but I still don't understand if they take the package or you ship to them and then they ship to you. Also I tried bike flights from bike shops and its overpriced for no reason. Please help me get my Carbon nukeproof mega for $700, I will literally cry. If anyone is willing to ship it for me I will compensate you, although I'm also just looking for how to ship

I got u Cash app I'm strapped and need money because my baby daddy just got arrested on some bent up charges of some shit like trafficking narcotics and something about people. He also got domestic abuse but I told the cops I fell down the stairs. They won't believe me. Now I'm broke and have 3 kids to feed and a baby. I can't even afford formula or diapers. I'm available for meetups for a fee and sell items. I'll make it worth your while daddy.

I will be shipping a container from the UK to the states within the next 10 months. If you are willing to wait that long than I could help you out.

I could but at the same time they'll prolly sell out in a week or two so I gotta move fast, I think I secured a spot on a crate for 200. Thank for the offer

Just be careful you don't get scammed. Can't find anything comparable you can buy either local or at least shipped to you buy a company?

I'll message you later tonight, looks like I'll be ordering today or tomorrow I'll pay for my spot on the pallet and then give some extra. If I end up doing it just don't let it take up your space in your house.

yea I've bought from this business a few times, I'm more worried about it getting damaged in shipping. And they ship frames to US but the price doubled in the US its 700 usd vs 1400+200 shipping

I mean fuck, they pack even acoustic guitars pretty well for shipping these days. Not saying shit doesnt happen but I haven't really heard of anyone getting a fucked up frame from a legit company outside of some really really bad shipping errors.

I get it though on saving money just make sure you're not sending anything to some random. Would suck to end up out the $$ and them have the bike and keep it. Sometimes a couple bucks for peace of mind or finding a more locally distributed thing is nice.

Hope it works out regardless. Maybe somebody from the UK will see it and do ya a solid.

yea i will say one time i got a dhl package with a huge hole in it and the frame is carbon but its probably a rare occurrence. I think oldmanski has a good reputation, even shipping it separate would be cheaper than the price from the us. the frame and shock retail there for just over 3000.
also this is my donating plasma money!
