    Anyone got any ideas - have won auction for a freestanding punchbag - roughly 45 x 45 x 190 and weight about 20KG. Can't seem to get a quote much below £45 (which means it is not so much of a bargain now!!!!)

    Hi

    You could try Boxby (https://www.boxby.co.uk), allows you to put out a tender to man in van type of comapnies, who could well be in that area and driving back to your area and will pick it up. Free to join, no crappy e-mails sent all the time from them. You're notified by e-mail if someone does provide a quote.

    Just an idea. Hope it helps.

    I have a carrier who does my UK parcels for £5.50p minimum 100 per month.

    Same carrier does Europe for £12.99 for 30kg box.

    Now I have a new project and need bedsteads delivering but I cant get anyone to quote.

    The max length will be 2.2m and there will be 2-3 boxes per con with about 30-40kgs total weight.

    Does anyone know how I can get these couriered?

    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Paul,
    could You please tell me the name of this courier? Because I want to deliver a set of alloy wheel from UK to Lithuania and I don't know which courier would be the cheapest. Thank You very much in advance.

    ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS FOR THE BEST PARCEL RATE TO ICELAND?

    A 10KG (30X30X35CM) PARCEL.

    I cant see it in any of Armitage's lists
    Best price so far is £61 with parcel-to-iceland. Others around £65-£70.

    Hi

    Last time I remember Freight Search were doing great Import prices. Worth a look at least, https://www.freightsearch.com

    hi all,

    hoping to get some advice...

    im trying to get a package from LA to Copenhagen. It needs to be picked up in LA in the next week or so but doesn't need to be in Copenhagen until the 10th September. The best quote I have so far is around £70 for a 3 day service but I was wondering if there might be other couriers that offer a slower service at a cheaper rate?

    thanks
