I ended up backing out of doing this due to the risks I was told about by the bike courier of having to pay Swedish VAT on the bike even though it was mine. Was looking like it was gonna end up upwards of £750+ to send the bike that way - unless you risk putting a lower replacement value on the bike (mine was £2500 bike) but then you risk either insurance only covering the declared value (if you insure it) or the customs believing you have under declared and then holding it and you getting fines/admin shit to pay on top of any import duties!
That was where i got to - but others seem to have no issue - like @5115_Pete earlier in this thread- so who knows. Ultimately it feels like its all about taking the risk and being prepared to potentially get whacked with some tax/duties/fees

Good spot. Might well be.

This is SOOO nice. Love the integrated racks. Would make a great rando. Needs to be saved.
Any idea what hubs they are?

YEs please. PMSorry my mistake - wildly thought the saddle bag meant a Shazam.
These are still lovely bags at a great price - just not what I am after, so will let someone else have them

Shit hippy this looks like a mega pain in the ass... urgh

Yeah this is my worry - previously (Jan 21) the courier had offered to cover any duty and fees but stupidly I ended up pulling out of that - so no worries are that I end up with £650++ of fees

So I am planning on shipping out a bike from UK to Sweden.
Planning to use this courier as they cover the paperwork/insurance and will get a box to my friend to pack it etc: https://sendbike.com/
Anyone had any experience using Sendbike?
Also, its got an insurance value of £2500 - but anyone got any advice on how I should effectively define the declared customs value?
Any advice would be much appreciated
Looking so so good. Cant wait to see if in the sunshine B-)
