Posting heavy stuff.

I'm hoping to post my Thundercat engine to a blokey in Scotland, but all the couriers seem to have a 25kg weight limit, which the engine is clearly over.

Is there any easy, cheap way to post it to him? Confused

Just stick a first class stamp on it and then leave it outside the nearest postbox Thumbs Up

At work I have sent much heavier stuff than that, sometimes around 70kg. I have used Citylink and DHL and from what I can remember they say £15 up 25kg and then start charging 50p per kg after that.

Hope that helps.

Something like TNT where the engine can be put on a pallet as those take upto 1000kg.

Try ringing a few removal companies, if they are going anywhere near your destination, they might take it on a part-load basis. whereabouts in Scotland is it going Question

I'd do it no bother but it'd be far from cheap (unless you have a large drum of veg. oil lying about Wink

)

i wouldnt recommend the ebay couriers.
i got a few quotes to collect an engine from chester to central scotland and was quoted in the region of £175 but more than half of them. and most of them were around the area for collection Thumbs Down

DHL/TNT/FedEx are your best bets i think.
