Transporting an Engine - Recommend me a Courier
Discussion
Hi All,
I've gone and bought a new engine for the MR2, Happy days! It's a rather nice one but the downside is, it's in Kent! So couldn't be any further away if I tried!
Now I'm in the dilemma of do I hire a van and make a weekend of it or do I get a courier.
Trying to price everything up just now but of course, searching google brings up countless couriers and pallet delivery services. A recomendation is always better, espeically as I'll be paranoid the whole time incase something gets broken in transit.
Can anyone recommend a a courier to bring an engine, gearbox and a few parts up from Kent to Edinburgh? It'll all be packaged on a pallet and wrapped up etc.

I had thought a van a viable option as the cheapest quote I've had no shipley so far is just under £300, hence I thought I could just do it myself for that ammount.
It would be a loooong weekend but as said above, the plus point is that I could take extra care of it the whole way. I actually found a hire for the time I needed with unlimited miles for £150, surely a catch in there somewhere though.
The idea of these networks freaks me out as if there is 3 or 4 transfers, there's 3 or 4 chances for a muppet to do something muppety.
I'll give all those guys a contact and see what the story is, thanks for the recommendations. Always better when someone has previous experience of a company.
