Shipping a big bike to belgium

[Tiddy1]

I am trying to ship a bike to Belgium and am really struggling to find any courier that will take it. I can pack it in a box 150x25x100cm and I expect the all up weight to be about 25kg, but all the ususal couriers say it is too big (or thier web sites do). I have found sendbike.com, but the reviews are dire so I am not keen to go with them

Anyone had any good or bad experiance,

any suggestions greatfully received

I've had bikes sent to me in Switzerland from the UK, and picked up for return, using DHL and UPS. I guess that means they can do it, but maybe only from a commercial account. When I returned a bike to Wiggle it was sent in a box with the rear wheel still fitted so it was pretty big.

Can you get the weight down somehow? Maybe pack the wheels separately? 25KG is a lot for a bike, I guess it's an e-bike or full susser?
