I've bought & had parts arrive from China quicker than parts ordered at the same time from the UK! How they make money on some of the postal rates is beyond me.

The Chinese govt subsidises the postage.

Honestly. Is everyone on here thicker than thick:laugh:

I sent my bike from Denmark to a bike shop in Burgas , Bulgaria. The Transcontinental Race starts in Burgas on the 27thJuly and ends in Brest. France. I would then fly back to Denmark with my bike from France.

Although the box was clearly marked Bulgaria. They have sent it to Hungary by mistake. It was not meant to go anywhere near Hungary. They are now trying to work out how to get it from Hungary to Bulgaria. Its not as simple as it seems. Just to complicate matters all my gear for the TCR is in the box with the bike.

Im not concerned as I still have 11 days before the start.

I decided to send it by road because my first flight only takes hand luggage.

Well my bikes on its way to Hungary for the start of the Transcontinental Race.

Unfortunately the start is in Bulgaria. But that does not appear to matter to the shipping company.

I thought I had made it clear enough.

If I were cycling to Brest, France, I wouldn't start from Hungary.

Can't you just change your flight to Hungary and cycle to Bulgaria for the start.

You could just treat it as a sort of warm up^_^^_^^_^

I have no idea. About 3 weeks as its my Brompton.

My main concern is getting the bike back. Another problem is that I finish work at lunchtime on Friday and the shipping is being organised through work.
