Posting a buggy

Hi

I am wanting to sell a buggy on ebay and have been told i can send it via the post office, can anyone confirm this?

I can't imagine handing a buggy over the counter!

Parcelforce charge an extra £5 to what i have been told by my neighbour.
Also, i have no box. Any tips on safe wrapping?

the dimensions are:
Folded: 104(h) x 48(w) cm Open: 104(h) x 27(w) cm
Weight: 5.7kg

Thanks

  • Have a look on the royalmail website, it really is not a problem to send it via parcelforce, they charge you £8.17 for up to 6kg. Get a box from asda/tesco etc (just ask them, maybe some bubblewrap from banana boxes, always bigger than apple boxes!) and away you go, http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=23500714&mediaId=23500721
    Up the Rams !!
  • My friend just sold a huge buggy (almost like a travel system thing) & it cost her a little over £8 with NO box! She folded it all down then tighly put bubble wrap all the way round it & stuck the address label on the front.

    If you cant bother taking it down to your postoffice you might wana try a online courier company - i use interparcel but they cost around £9. They come and collect it.
