Courier For Alloy Wheels?

[paradigm]

Any ideas on how to ship alloys (with tyres) guys? Not overly fussed on cost, so long as its not extortionate.

Interesting i need to know the same, UPS and Initial City Link told me no.

Someone sent me a set of alloys with tyres and it cost £50 with parcel force.

parcel2go.com is around a tenner a parcel.

Not for that weight, and it would need to be 4 separate parcels to come under their size limit.

Are charges based on weight or size, or is that just the Royal Mail?

Parcel2go - seperate them into <30Kg parcels, £10 each.

CHEAP!

parcel2go will do upto 25kg but an alloy and tyre is pretty bulky as well so I'd say its 1 tyre per parcel too

I used Postvan when I got my diff shipped to me. I used thier 'up to 35kg' service which is £18.95 plus vat.

The diff actually weighed a bit more (40kg) but I never got charged any extra.

£44 for me, 4 15" wheels with tyres with Parcelforce. Came as four separate parcels.

Nice thing about Parcelforce is they don't charge extra for North Atlantic delivery services.

we always use POD when we are shipping stuff from the office. They're reliable, they'll come and collect and they have tracking and insurance.

POD?

Proof Of Delivery Couriers I think but I had a quick look on the web and couldn't find anything about them I didn't have time to check it before I left, sorry.
