Hi, it's a long story and I'm having a bad day :mad: but could someone recommend to me the best (cheapest and easiest)way to return a full car exhaust system to Germany?
TIA

    Attach it to the bottom of a car???
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    I've used this company to get very competitive quotes from couriers when I've bought things from the Continent.

    I'm waiting for quotes from Shipley, thanks

    Parcelforce won't take it because it's too much volumetric weight:(

    P4D. Not necessarily the cheapest, but reliable.
    1. Economy Express - £62.30 + VAT

    Your parcel will be collected by a TNT driver and delivered on their international network. For European destinations the normal transit time is 2-3 days. For other destinations you can expect delivery to be made within 5 days. You will need to print a label we provide in order to use this service.
    Please note: As your parcel is an irregular size your quote is based on a volumetric weight of 36.54 kg. This is calculated using this service's volumetric weight formula of width x height x length all multiplied by 0.000250.
    This quote includes a 5% discount of £3.28
