Hi all,
I have bought several large items from a seller on eBay, which are packaged up and ready to go.
They need to be picked up from Truro, Cornwall and delivered to Sutton, Surrey ( SW edge of Greater London)
The dimensions and weights are:
Box 1: 115cm x 130cm x 36cm Weight: 20kg
Box 2: 115cm x 100 x 50cm Weight: 17kg
Box 3: 140cm x 125cm x 15cm Weight: 17kg
They can be twisted around to fit length ways, end up or however.
Timescale is not important.
I am not a company. Most couriers don't want to know about a one-off job. Can anyone suggest an affordable alternative?

Have you posted it up on Shiply? Couriers will give the lowest price for the job.

As above, or get hold of a local paper to Truro and see if there's any man and van adverts in it..0

P4d will do it for £35 a parcel with Parcel Force, they usually give a small discount for subsequent parcels to/from the same address, so logging in may get the price down.0
