Hey,

I want to sell some alloy wheels on ebay. Is there a deilvery service that will pick the items from my house and send them to the address?

Thanks.

Yeah, I had to send a big box a couple of weeks ago and I used Parcelforce. I filled out all the details online and paid for it. The very next day a delivery driver came and took the package away. So, yes, I reccomend Parcelforce.

What would I do with alloys m8?

Would I have to try and wrap them up or what? lol. :S

I bought some alloys off Ebay, the bloke charged me £25 carriage but it ended up costing him over £80 to send them :eek:

Hmm ok :S,

How did the alloys come? Wrapped up?

Surely you have some big boxes hanging around the garage? Could you not wrap them up and them stick them in that. It'll take two boxes probably.

Depending on your location, i would do collection only, it will cost too much to send them, but it can be done.

would reckon on 4 boxes if they are anything other than tiny, a box with 2 wheels in would be huge and extremely heavy

You can do a box for each alloy which will cost in total around £40

Or deliver them yourself. eg. £40 @20p/mile = 200 mile round trip

If you have a local staples use them. The branch near me, charge £8 max for an item, no matter the size, seriously. They say as long as you can carry it physically, they'll charge £8 for it. I've posted all sorts through them, a front bumper of my old rs turbo, rear spoiler, you name it. Decent service as well, only take a few days and the recipients have never complained.
