is it worth paying postage on large/ heavy items such as full suspension or an exhaust ? I am trying to sell them local , but no success as yet. They arent new , and not worth much , so to post them to Mainland will cost a fair bit and i'm not sure if it would be counterproductive !

 

I sold an exhaust to a chap in Scotland once, it didn't cost that much to ship it if I remember correctly

 

A backbox is usually around £15. My ex had a set of springs and shocks delivered for around £15 too.

 

That can't be from N.I though?

 

Suspension is really heavy, Would be cheaper to send via a pallet but as said a back box is normally around £15 for mainland uk

 

yes guys , i will be posting from Northern Ireland to mainland UK . Though i know they class the highlands with NI , i dont think its the same as posting from England to Scotland.

The Suspension weights loads , and the exhaust is long (just the backbox left)

 

have a look on www.interparcel.com mate.

To keep costs down you can send the suspension in 2 parcels, usually for under a tenner each. Last 4 shocks/springs I sent in the UK was £16 via ups, weighed 32kg!

 

when you say "in the UK" i take it it didnt cross the water ? This is a different cost i bet !

 

try the link I posted and get a quote online, you might be suprised.

 

i am surprised , they wont deliver it !

 

Oops, never saw that

 

I paid £60 for the 2 rear shocks, sun visor's and a front grille, that cost included the parts and shipping from Carlisle to Bangor last December, but I'm not sure what just the shipping would of costed

the shocks with springs weigh alot , can hardly lift them. It looks like i will have to keep them in the shed until someone more local wants them !

 

Just paid £14 postage for full prodrive decat system and came next day with parcelforce:

 

UK to UK ?

 

send it now is £14 for up to 30kg 24 hour from/too anywhere UK-UK slightly cheaper on a 48 hour service.

 

just you know the way NI is UK until you post something ? will £15 cover it ?

 

Parcelforce dont charge any more for NI

 

happy days , may become a paying member on here to see if anyone is interested.
