Courier for motorcycle battery?

[smiles1]

Does anybody know a courier / postal company that will ship a motorcycle (non lithium) AGM battery?

Thanks

Well all ebay batteries come through post, I’ve bought some myself. Can’t you just use Royal Mail?

It says restricted on their list if heavier than 1.5kg (this is 7kg)

Bought a new battery for the Fazer from https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk on Friday. It was delivered the next day by DPD - well packed with the acid in a seperate container.

Car batteries come via courier all the time.

It's weird as people like DPD deliver them for companies but when you go on their website to book a courier batteries are listed as restricted items??

All sorted though, UPS are happy to deliver

I tried to return a faulty battery which I purchased on line but I couldn't find a courier company that would ship it. The original suppliers have an agreement with the courier company and follow fairly strict rules about enclosing and protecting the battery. Although I still had the original packaging no courier company I contacted would take it. I did get a quote from Shiply but it was far more than the cost of the battery. I guess this is the downside of buying a battery on line - you save a few £ but effectively there's no warranty.

It's like an acid trip....
