    If your uncle doesn't have the transit bars and can't arrange the substantial packaging that would be needed, don't bother with it. It probably wouldn't work when it arrived even if it wasn't damaged from the handling.

    Is the only sensible advice you are going to get, sorry.:cool:

    So, you're the only one then!
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Actually they're not - I have mine too, and I know exactly where they are. :D:T

    for your own piece of mind i'd collect yourself.

    Have you got a friend with a van? or even a hatchback car?

    Could you plan a weekend around it?

    Thanks for all your replies. Think I'm going to have to go for it and just drive myself, its just that I always want to just sleep the first weekend after I'm back in school coz I'm so shattered but I guess a 400 mile round trip is almost as good ;)
    Oh well, at least I'll be able to stop having to beg friends to let me use their washing machine!

    try shipley.com - they are aimed at ebay purchases - but basically can put you in touch with haulage companies with space in their van .you say where you want to go - they bid for the work

    as been said. itll cost at least 65 quid to palletise & deliver it. and without the lock bolts itll probably never work again.
    itll be cheaper to get a free one off the local freecycle.
    Get some gorm.

    I remember somebody saying that putting a washer in the back of a car, invalidates in the insurance.

    Just in case you're going to do it that way.

    Why would it invalidate your car insurance? I have driven many times with large items in my boot. Beds, chest of drawers, dishwasher etc. That's what cars are for.
