Courier to deliver a bumper

[smiles1]

Hi,

Does anybody know a reasonably priced courier to get a small front bumper delivered (mk3 mr2). I was expecting quotes of £20-30 but I am getting quotes of £80-90.

Is that what it costs these days or am I looking in the wrong places?

Thanks

I had one delivered this year by this courier. It arrived safe and sound.

Thanks, that looks very well priced!

I have seen Paisley Freight mentioned a few times for large car parts.

A lot of the couriers are just agents. Paisley Frieght will send one of the big names to collect it most of the time. Not saying that they're no good, but it's not them personally that are collecting and delivering it.

There is only one way to get it there safely, and that is by packaging it very well. I've worked for a parcel company and with the best will in the world, it is going to get bashed about. Especially now everybody expects next day delivery everything is done in a big hurry.

So I would package it really well and send it with whoever's cheapest. Which quite often is Paisley Frieght. Just hope that you don't have to speak to the angry Jock on the end of the phone.

depends how you want it done. Guaranteed O/N is expensive, but I got TNT to pick up a new MGB Bonnet and deliver it to me for £50 quid including insurance using their website,

look on ebay for courier for bumper. I did it once and was amazed how cheap it turned out, rather than doing it directly.

Dont use Parcel Force! They do not cover car parts on their insurance!

Paisleyfreight no longer take bumpers or wheels but annoyingly they will still take your money then refund you later

I used these guys to send a bumper 4 years ago.
