Can anyone recommend me a wheel courier for a pickup in Morpeth to NE scotland. Ideally weekend pickup or weekday would do worst case.

To add, a well known courier with a Scottish town name in their name have failed to collect twice in a row. They had been great in the past but not even interested to know they have screwed this up. I have also used Shiply but they too have also failed to collect.

So, someone that isnt two of the above please!

DPD?

I've used them in the past for wheels and tyres and they've been great.

I, too, have been disapointed by a Wheel Courier with a Scottish Town in its name. I see a pattern emerging...

Ahhh yes, that town near Glasgow...

Used them numerous times and only had one issue where one wheel went missing en route so three were delivered - how that didn't strike the courier driver as weird or how they missed the "1 of 4, 2 of 4 etc clearly marked on each wheel, I'll never know. Missing wheel was delivered within 24hrs but with minor damage - again how, I'll never know as it was wrapped but they had to unwrap it to identify it (?) so I assume itw as then dropped on its face. They refunded the delivery cost as a goodwill.

I'd use them again though.

That town named one, or TNT, as that is who the town named courier uses, but you miss out the middle man!

And deliver

cheers

I have had two reasons for non-collection from that courier, the second is laughably bad. Highly likely whomever is the agent/driver for that area.

DPD and TNT I will try. Thanks folks!

Yon has historically have been good for me, collected all sorts from weird places; a diff, exhaust system, wings, bonnets, full interior all no problem. But the collection address, someone has taken two consecutive Fridays off work and courier not showed. I would be somewhat annoyed too. Thus the current problem.

most of the usual players will transport wheels etc - the parcel companies will want them wrapped and labelled as a consignment of however many pieces , the pallet couriers will want them secured on a pallet or 'skate' ...
