Got someone sending me a frame for an FZR400 and we're not sure what the best option is, anyone done it before? How much, what company, and how'd you wrap it?

Cheers

If you search for 'cheap package delivery' or something you should get some sites that you enter in the dimensions and weight for quotes. Some sites work as 'comparison sites' so they give you a range of quotes from others.
Can't remember specific sites - but have used google before for this sort of thing, including a large package of car parts from NI, which included a bumper and side panel.

Agreed.

Although you need to get in on a pallet and suitably wrapped then to the depot for it to be quite as cheap as that.

I did it with a couple of old cart wheels I flogged on eBay.

Thumbs Up

*Edit: that was through Palletline, they were the closest to me and the cheapest.*

Ended up using parcelforce, dunno what it cost him, but probably less than £30 which is what I allowed or he'd of asked for more. In fact he said it could of been cheapoer but wpuld of involved waiting in for it to be picked up.

It's in Clayton Le Moor right now, exiting.
