Default Courier Question

I need a boot (car boot, not a shoe!!!) picked up from Manchester and delivered to Surrey (just by Gatwick Airport)

Any recommendations?

having bought a lot of stuff on SN it's not the courier that counts it's how well the seller wraps the stuff !!

Parcel2go have worked well for me as has royal mail (my local postie is well known on here but has moved )

Have a word with the seller about how he intends to wrap it ........here's a pic of my car with a WRC style bonnet in the background leaning against the garage as it was too damaged in transit to fit and heading for the skip..

PS Sorry to be a pain but could you have a look at the renewal notices for C19 SAW and C19 LRA as I don't seem to have got them yet ??

Last year i ordered 2 bonnets and both times they were delivered to the garage bent. Each time the garage didn't look at the bonnet before the driver left, even though i told them to.

If its an impreza boot, make sure to thouroughly wrap the two points where the boot meets the screen, and the 4 points on the lower part where it goes around the lights.

I ordered two boots and asked the sellers to do this, neither did, and both arrived with these areas severely bent from having been dropped by the couriers.

Eventually found a seller to did wrap them properly ( loads of bubble wrap, carboard and thick carpet ! ) and it arrived fine.
