Best way to post large item? Trackable

Wkdwill

Hi

Im wondering if anyone could help me.

Im about to sell something which is quite bulky and very heavy, ive decided that selling it on ebay is going to be my best bet and as the majority of buyers pay by Paypal I would like to know the best way to post it so that its trackable and so if any dispute came up Paypal would accept it and be able to track it......not that im saying someone will dispute but you cant be too careful now, as I have used Parcel2Go once before and found that it was untrackable and never even said the item was delivered.

The item weighs about 8kg and the measurements are 91 (l) x 38 (w) x 45 (h) cm.

Also, this may come across as a bit dumb but what would be the best way to package it as I never kept the original box and doubt ill find another big enough, ive never sent something this big and heavy before.

Thanks

Hi, i use Interparcel for larger items. Depending on what it is, if its not breakable i would put a little bubble wrap around it ,then a black rubish bag and lots or parcel tape, if its breakable then you will need to find a box and lots of bubble wrap.

Not too heavy or large for most couriers like DHL/UPS via a reseller. The dimensions look about the size of a hoover box to me!

Parcelforce 48 - I think it will cost £12.99 and it's trackable online. Plus you can take it to a Post Ofiice and therefore not wait in all day for a courier to collect.
