what's the best service to use to ship terrano bumpers etc?

Fez_uk · 01-09-2013, 20:53

nothing really for the value of it, I'd do pickup only and see what happens.

If it don't sell you've only lost 40p.

I always use My Hermes, reasonably inexpensive and reliable door to door collection and delivery. Not sure if they would handle something as big as bumpers but it's worth visiting their site and getting a quote.

I wouldn't use my hermes if it was free

I've used Hermes and have found them to be absolute crap. Would never use them again

However if you go to Inter Parcel . com you can get your quote there and be given 5 or so alternative companies doing the same sort of thing with a slightly varied price.
Be careful with descriptions though

I had arranged a front spoiler to be collected and paid etc. Then told later that they hadn't collected because people always cheat about the size and weight of car body parts. i had to resubmit the exact same data 3 times before they eventually agreed to collect it. Bloody muppets

If it's too big for normal couriers you can use a pallet company. Pallets start at about 40 quid
