DON'T use Parcelforce for sending car parts
As I found out the hard way, the STI rear lights I sold to a member on here turned up damaged.
Apparently Parcelforce will let you send car parts, but you're not insured for them when something goes wrong.
I'm pretty peed off as I sent parts recently (20-30 packages) via 3 different post offices and they all asked what every parcel was and not one of them told me I wouldn't of been insured.
I wont be using them again, that's for sure.

Thats a good point how did they get damaged? I pack my stuff well enough i can kick the box with no damage to goods.
I can remember we had a topic a while back about damaged goods, the amount of stuff i've received poorly packed. I've packed JDM lights before and packed them in tones of bubble wrap.

8 bottles of craft beer shipped from Scotland using RM arrived yesterday with 2 bottles broken - the delivery driver went out of his way to point out that he didn't break them, so much so I am pretty sure he broke them - that said, there was no impact absorbing packing material in the box, just cardboard dividers to stop the bottles rattling.

Ah ok
I bought some beer from Brew dog (a Scottish craft beer Co) the other day and was surprised when it arrived just in the box, no real packaging so to speak

maybe they have a deal with the couriers that they are responsible (no quibble) for breakage - as a condition of getting the business

If anyone knows where posts put bofferding beer from Luxembourg though I would be most grateful

I'm looking for a way to buy bofferding from Luxembourg. It's not technically available for export so struggling to get any over here
