Do any of you guys ever post your luggage over to the Isle of man for TT and what are your experiences with it?One of our group this year has a bike with no luggage capacity and with him and the wife going for 10 days they were wondering about sending there case over.
Cheers

I have sent my luggage over by Parcelforce for the past two years. Using their 48 hours service it has cost my about £17 each way to send for a weight up tp 10kgs. When I weighed in last year the weight was just 20grams under the limit. I think you can send more at a higher cost. I take it to my local post office to send and have it delivered to my accomodation. I think you get a discount on the price if you take it to or collect it from a parcelforce depot. Other parcel delivery firms may beavailable.

I always did this when riding to the Island, it meant I could have an enjoyable ride (via the backroads) to/from the ferry un-encumbered by luggage - now have a campervan, so no need.
I used to use a courier to send it to the hotel and dropped it off at the post office before heading for the ferry
You need to check Post Office opening/ferry times align!
