if not, have a look at some sites that sell oars, they may say which company they use...

TNT are a possibility, but they are not cheap.

This is a really good idea, I've emailled one and have taken a phone number for another so I hope this will work

So - it's now a few days on and you all deserve an update for the work you put in on Friday evening.

I contacted the place where the oars came from originally and they use Tuffnells.

Neither Swift couriers, ANC or Tuffnells will take a one-off delivery as they only do contract work so that leaves the assorted 'man and van' type listings on ebay to look through.

Thankfully this isn't one of my ebay sales, it's a private sale of my son's oars and he thinks that he can get them to where they are supposed to go via a rowing event in London this weekend, if he can wangle a space on the trailer of the local rowing club for them as the recipient is at this race too so it looks like he may have solved the problem.

Thank goodness I sell small stuff!

It's nice to see you've taken the time to update, thanks!
