Large Item Couriers

[Lockhouse]

Hi,

I need a spare wheel shipped from 'Oop North to Dahn Sarf. Has to be a door to door pickup.

Weight around 24Kg at a guess. Not more than 1 metre in diameter.

Any recommendations for the best way to do this that's not going to cost me a hundred quid?

TiA.

I've done the same and just wrapped it in bubble wrap and cardboard and sent it using a normal courier.

So you can get quotes based on weight/size in the normal way.

Didnt cost me anywhere near 100 quid.

North to South is downhill, everyone knows that. Simply stand it up, give it a shove and make sure someone is there at the other end to stop it. Simples

Shiply, or stick it on a car and drive it down.

As long as it's light enough for the driver to fling it in a hedge and say it was signed for at your house, Hermes or Yodel are fine.

It's something I'm buying on eBay and local collection only. If I want the item I have to arrange my own courier. Looks like Shiply it is.
