It's over sized to go on standard cheap services. The volumetric limit is 30kg, which equates too legnth(cm) x width x height/5000 (or /4000 depending on courier).

So two, three parcels will be necessary. If you get it down to that size try https://www.freightsearch.com https://www.interparcel.com etc. Word of warning, if send oversized parcels you will be charged.

Has she weighed it? You need a weight.

I managed to post a massive size box weighing around 30kg with this courier that I found via ebay, all for £16.

The service was fine, I think it was DHL that collected it.

may also be easier to split it and send the likes of the car seat seperatly

If it was massive box it will have been oversized for DHL.

ParcelMarketer will get surcharged up to £100. They can pass this on to you, via debt collectors if neccessery.

Hi,

Most online couriers assume when you are putting details in to their websites that you have the goods with you to send to someone else.

There is one way around this that I know of.....

Give www.interlinkexpress.com a go.

The thing here is that you are dealing direct with a courier network (Interlink Express have 98 depots in the UK) whereas the likes of Interparcel etc, are third party couriers that will have your parcels collected and delivered by a multitude if couriers.

You ship with Interlink, they collect, they deliver AND they insure up to £75 per item (check their website for T's & C's on this bit).

You can also request an SMS to be sent to you when the goods are in their system, giving you added peace of mind that your items are on their way to you.

Also very reasonable pricing.

And heres the good bit... You will receive an email from them to confirm your order. Within the email there is an option called 'Reprint the shipping documents for your parcel' which allows you to re-print your labels should you wish to.
So send this to the sender of your items and they can print on to A4 labels and stick to the outside of the parcels.

Hope that helps.

Good Luck!:D

argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IVE GONE ONTO INTERPARCEL AND whoops caps lock , ive booked the courier for the actual bugy which was fine with no printing of labels but the only service which will take the car seat needs me to have a printer im so not enjoying this !!
