Parcelforce won't do over 30kg. Most of the others need an account. Christian Salvesen will do a pallet up to 500 kg !! for £77+VAT.

Group buy on engine deliveries anyone

 

Cant you just remove some part to bring it down to 30kg and then post the rest?

 

Try amtrak,
most reasonable and reliable, i have sent boxed up computers back and forth from ayr to aberdeen for £20, they work on volume rather than weight, so give them a shout.

TNT

 

TNT will do it quite reasonably,I use them all the time for machinery up to about 70kg. Box it rather than put it on a pallet to avoid (expensive) pallet charges.

 

Thanks Amtrak are most flexible on pricing and weight limits. It is in a wooden crate, will check if they mind. Much more secure and easier to pick up this way. £28.50 all in

 

when i got an engine delivered for my old astra van that came over night from the breakers on night freight and it deffo weighed more than 30KG, bl**dy desiel oil burner. Give them a try, have not got a clue on prices though.

my engine got delivered on night freight aswell, i imagine it aint to much with them...

AMTRAK will only take up to 25KG unless you have sufficient loading equipment, although the drivers can be flexible, depending on thier moods.

failing that, how far you gotta take it? organise a day out!! we once delivered a boat engine, by hand, to the south of spain, but we had a 3 week holiday while we was at it!!!

 

You could split it, but that's a pain.

Best to mount it on plywood base, but then put the whole thing in a cardboard box so they don't give you hassle for it being on a pallet.

Scoobysport used TNT to collect my replacement engine from a Breakers, You should have seen the guys at the yard trying to get the Engine out quickly. Called them lunchtime, in Basildon the next day. I believe the only reqirement was on a pallet & wrapped

 

John,

Just rang Omega for you (thats who we use, seem to be a very reliable service) and if the engine is upto 32KG then its an all inclusive of £26.32 for next day delivery.

E-mail me if you want further details.

Cheers

Thanks very much gents. Phoned Amtrak at 9am and they said fine about 32 kg and pallet. £28.50 next day. Thanks for the offers and emails guys most appreciated.

 

32kg is a very lightweight engine .... surely ... what is it for?

 

Hyabusa engine for his lawn mower

 

It is a Subaru 2.0 short motor minus three pistons, in a wooden crate

 

minus three pistons

[cough],here is the fourth




I wanted to split the block and remove the crank but JB was too keen to send it off ASAP .I think he is desperate to start testing the new gear kit .
