a courier? or pick them up yourself? must be cheaper than paying somebody to pick them up. i live about an hour from colchester, then i would guess maybe three to three and a half hours up to derby and about three hours home again. i'd be looking at over a tank of fuel even in my 820, plus the day to do it. that would cost a lot, surely a courier could do it cheaper? it's not a huge weight or volume after all? _________________ rover sd1 club member 4311

I used these the other day and was very impressed.
Any package upto 30kg collected and delivered from door to door and all for only £10.99. They use parcel force to do the actual delivery work so it all works well.
Quote from website: 'Your parcel must not weigh more than 30kg, have any one dimension longer than 1.5m, and the total size of the longest dimension added to the size of measuring round the thickest part must be no more than 3m.'
May be worth measuring the wheels and see if you can get 2 wheels together into there size restrictions. _________________ If you're goin' to mod it, start with something worth moddin'. |
