Man with a van from Yorkshire to London recommendations

[kazino]

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section.
I would like to collect a used gym stretch trainer from Yorkshire area and have it delivered in London.
I used www.Any an.co.uk and it is coming up with £150.
Would there be any other cheaper services than this or would this be the going rate for such a service.

The used item itself is only £100 (new it is around £350)

£150 is about right.

Sounds like a fair price to me. I use a guy who charges that for half a day within the M25 (same day service, so a bit different) when I'm stuck.

Where in Yorkshire and where in London, I can ask another courier for a price at "mates rates" if you like?

Thankyou for your replies.

[kazino]

I'll put it in shiply aswell.
I only put it up 30 minutes ago.

I paid £150 for a van from whitby to milton keynes could have got one cheaper but the van looked like it would not make it out of yorkshire.

Unless there are two places called Consett, the gym gear is a lot further north than Yorkshire.

Sorry, can't beat 150. Consett is in Durham by the way

You are indeed correct, it appears to be near durham.
Someone has offered £60 to deliver

Thankyou for trying. I guess this Chap must be delivering to London anyway and probably has extra space

[BrabusMog]

Yep, very cheap, you couldn't rent a van and pay for diesel for 60 to do it yourself. Happy days!
