Am after a bit of help.

Does anyone know the cheapest way to ship 4 large alloy wheels from Hull to Edinburgh ?

Have just won an Ebay bid but buyer says he wanted collection only.

Cheers !

    Give APC Ovenighta ring, I use them and I know they deal for a large scrappy near me sending engines etc. Normal rates arte quite cheap around £8.81 (inc VAT). Mind you I haven't sent anything that big.

    The seller is going to love you :)

    Can I ask why you bid on it knowing it was collection only, and you couldn't collect? The buyer now has every right to put through a NPB on you, because you are not adhering to his delivery method.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    Smartie1976: No ...you misunderstand. Seller had Postage anywhere in the UK on the bid page but has now changed his mindto Collection Only and i now need to organise collection. Basically his fault but i still want the goods.

    Hintza: Excellent ! Saved me a small fortune ! Cheers M8 ! :)

    Well if the seller said he would post it then he should do surely?!

    How big/bulky are the things you have bought?

    Ahhh right, well I'd say the seller is in the wrong then, as your purchase was based on delivery. Still, if you can source your own delivery, rather than the seller doing it, you'll save a packet :)
