cheapest courier

Hi
Can anyone give me some idea of which courier to use to send some alloy wheels with tyres within the uk.
Any rough estimates as to how much it would be.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I use https://www.parcel2go.com if I have larger parcels.

Be aware VAT is added.

Sorry, just noticed you said WITH tyres.

I think parcel2go's limit is 25kg per parcel.

I regularly use Parcels4Delivery. I'm pretty sure that they use a courier which allows over 30kg.

I've never had a problem with them.

They also take PayPal which is useful if your buyer has paid by that method.

Just tried these and they are quoting £116 + vat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just tried parcel2go and they quoted £40 + vat!

massive difference

Good grief!!! Perhaps I'll try parcels2go.

Try your local Staples Superstore, they charge £8 and allow upto 31.5kg per parcel, they use dhl. HTH.

I Used a guy on ebay called http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=thessgroup&item=6059296446&iid=6059296446&frm=1883&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:SID and it only cost me £35.96 for 4 alloy wheels and tyres next day delivery. as long as each one is not over 30kgs you are ok

I take it all back! I used parcels4delivery.com last week to arrange a collection via ANC on Friday. They didn't turn up. P4D are trying to arrange another pick up today, but this isn't convenient for me as I have to pick up my daughter from school so there'll be no-one in the house for around 15 minutes today.

If they arrive when I'm out, I'll have to pay a £4.50 admin fee.

Please note that their collection service is not guaranteed!!!!

I'm really cheesed off.
