Posting a boot lid?

[Jakg]

I've got a "spare" boot taking up space i've been offered some cash for, but the buyer is unable to collect.

I've found I can courier it for ~£20 online (using wheel courier), but i'm not sure how likely it is to arrive in the right shape...

Anyone done something like this before? It's way too big to be boxed up.

I had one for a Triumph Herald posted to Me last year....arrived undamaged. Seller had wrapped cardboard round it & it appeared to work.

I was impressed, it must have taken much effort to induce the damage TBH!

I had a bumper from a Puma couriered to me and I was very dubious about what state it would arrive in, however it seemed OK (and was just wrapped in polythene and a fabric bag).

Make sure it's insured and warn the buyer that you can't guarantee its condition after shipping and you should be covered.

I would get a quote off shiply.com the same guy is going to pick it up and deliver it. A courier will likely be several different people who wont give a toss. They destroyed my surfboard, the barstewards.

Any idea on the rough cost without a postcode?

Suffolk to Yorkshire, the boot itself is only £50 so I don't want to spend a massive amount...
