LutterworthLCFC Posted 19 June 2016 Share Posted 19 June 2016 Has anyone ever sent a parcel to a hotel abroad? Basically me and a friend are cycling to Paris, and to get our bikes back we will need our travel bags for our bikes so we can put them on the plane (don't want to cycle home!) I was wondering if anyone had done this before and if the hotel would be able to store the parcel until we arrive? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can probably give you the best answers to all your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Boos Up Posted 19 June 2016 Share Posted 19 June 2016 Not while the Euros are on? If so get an established courier company who will do the full export documentation for you. Not just the security issue but the current French "go slow strikes" including postal services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a few quotes and a company called Hermes was a good price but I've never heard of them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuffed in the back of Their own car and when your not in. Lob it in the wheelie bin or chuck it over the back gate.Don't do it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxondale Posted 20 June 2016 Share Posted 20 June 2016 I would steer clear of Hermes, I wouldn't trust them to deliver a parcel in this country. I wouldn't trust them to deliver a bag of rubbish from my kitchen to my wheelie bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
