international shipping?
I am considering selling and shipping a bike internationally for the first time (Utah to Denmark). Any advice on what shipper to use or other info I should know? It is a big bike (61cm) so it isn't going to fit in a small box and will probably exceed 130" total unless I break it into multiple boxes/shipments.

You are going to have to ship it in 2 boxes. Wheel-set in 1, the rest in the other. 108" maximum box size. USPS Priority will be the best price, and choice in my opinion.

All the inbound international bike shipments to be that were reasonable in cost had the cranks pulled, rear derailleur off, both wheels off.
Beyond that there were various approaches to packing it away. One box.
