 |
|
Hi all
I've got 3 large box's (fairings) to send and I can imagine it being quite expensive. Could anyone recommend who to use? Or is it price vs quality with couriers?
Box 1
H - 88cm
W - 65cm
L - 28cm
Box 2
H - 92cm
W - 57cm
L - 42cm
Box 3
H - 51cm
W - 64cm
L - 52cm
Thanks for any advice  ____________________ Rides: Honda XR 125 ('03) Honda CBR 600F ('91), Ducati 916 Biposto ('95) |

We use Parcelforce and none of those boxes would be an issue. As mentioned, it's done on weigh rather than size and even then up to 25kg is OK. Check out the Parcelforce website or Parcel2go (or one of the others), should be less than a tenner to send each of them. ____________________ My Photos

I think most places use weight, as long as its withing their maximum size limit, which I think is quite big.
I posted an Audi A6 front bumper last year for £9.50 which I was quite impressed with.
Think I just chose the cheapest on interparcel. ____________________ Current Bikes:Honda 929RR Fireblade, Honda CD200 Benly (Project), Stomp Z2 140

Could try myhermes
They're pretty good but there is a limitation on sizes...can't recall from memory, but you should be good for some if not all. ____________________ If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Comparative site, very reasonable. |
I use these for work, can send a desktop PC, next day for about a tenner.
Just be careful which courier you chose, some collect, some expect you to take the parcel to a shop for them to collect. I normally pay the extra 50p for TNT or someone well known.

It's unlikely a courier you need. If the distance isn't too far it could be cheaper but a parcel carrier is likely your best option.
I'g go with TNT via parcel2go, Mainly employed drivers with targets to hit rather than people like hermes who are paid 50p per drop so need to cram in annd throw as many parcels over fences as humanly possible. ____________________ Nobby the Bastard: How yo tell the difference between the actual japanese and her just screaming because she's had live fish stuck up her arse?
