not worth it mate. if you have seen what happens in a parcel company then you wouldnt put your bike on there. best thing i can suggest is to contact local bike shop and ask them for an old bike box. take your bike semi apart and send to him like that.

i think you can arrage it all online with city link or someone esle.

Don't use Parcel Farce for your bike Ry, they don't take care of the packages very well! As Ry2 said, get a bike box from Halfrauds or another bike shop and pack it up good then ring a decent Couriers

Try Paisley Frieght - i've used them to deliver a few sets of alloy wheels and they've been excellent
It would be best to get the box though and strip the bike down a bit
