Parcel Delivery. Favour for a stranger

[neap38]

This is a long shot but if you don't ask you don't get!

Is there anyone in the Yorkshire area (Darton, Barnsley) that is travelling towards London that would be willing to pick up a parcel for me?

I have bought a bumper of ebay, all boxed up and ready to go but I am having trouble with getting the seller to pull his finger out and find a suitable courier.

I've already paid him £20 p+p so this could be put towards your petrol.

It is a large parcel, 2M long x 90 cm x 45cm.

Anyone interested?

Kind regards.

Nobody?

I don't really want to drive from South London to Yorkshire and then back again for a bumper.

At this rate it looks like I might have to!

Sorry mate, I do a run from Leeds to London a lot but I'm not sure how a 2m bumper would do fit in a Prelude

Smaller bits I could have helped with.

Someone bought an exhaust system from me once (complete from downpipe to silencer) and he had paid a courier to pick it up from my office. Sadly, I don't know the service he used but it does mean that's one alternative.

Use parcel2go, they use a number of couriers so you can pick the price that fits.

Paisley freight aren't bad either

[neap38]

Thanks for your replys. All were asking for over £100 or would not send because it was too large.

Apart from Paisley Freight! £11.99!

You have saved me a lot of hassle. Much appreciated.

Too large? Try UPS, I've sent a bumper by post before, likewise a carbon fibre bonnet.
Both times I did a UPS pickup and delivery. All organised from their website in mins. Printed off a label and then they collected with no issues/complaints.
I think each item was c£20 to send.
Not sure if it's still the case that they charge by weight and don't care about size with UPS but it wasn't that long ago I used them.

UPS charge by volumetric weight

[StormLoaded]

ah right ok, well they never complained when picking the goods up on either occasion anyway
i just weighed them, filled in that value on the website to calculate a (nice and cheap) price
