Default Delivery cost on bucket seats and associated items

Does anybody have any idea of the rough cost of delivering 2 bucket seats with subframes and harnesses throughout the UK.

Can anybody recommend a reliable and reasonably priced company?

Thanks

If you can geuss a weight, I will tell you how much City Link will charge.

Or the royal mail parcelforce website has an online calculator I think.

Thanks for all the help, I've finally got a total weight:

2 seat - 18.0kg (9.0kg each)
2 subframes - 2.0kg
Harnesses - approx 2.0kg

Total - 22.0kg

Parcel force quote - 2 days delivery £33.00

I could do with some advice on the best way to do this. I am buying the above off a chap who lives some distance from me and was therefore wanting to get them posted. He doesn't want the hassle of organising delivery so I said I would organise it all from my end. I take it I can organise the courier etc, what is the minimum that he will have to do - would he simply need to package it and wait for the courier to come to his door. Is it advisable to package it in any particular way - obviously it's quite a big item. Neither of us have done this before with such a large parcel and the less work I can give him and the smoother the pick up / delivery the better. He never wanted to deliver at all you see but I convinced him it would be easy

I'd just bundle the sub frames in some bubble wrap, the put the seats together facing each other but upside down.... L7 chuck the bubble wrapped subframes in the middle, wrap the lot in cardboard/packing tape, and stick the stamps on

arrange collection and delivery to places of work rather than home, makes things much easier I have found.
