postage help

I'm trying to sell a collection of 140 old cinema posters on ebay and want to provide postage. However they seem to be too long for the couriers I've checked out . Anyone know how best to post them to a uk destination on the cheap?

    To get an answer, I think you would need to provide H x W x D and weight of parcel.

    they're 50 inches long, and at a guess, about 30 x30 in height and width. However, I have no means of weighing them all. At a guess I reckon just under 15kg

    List them collection only.

    Problem solved.

    I tried that but wasn't getting enough interest. Only got one offer and it was for half of what I was asking
  • A package that size would be very expensive to post: cheapest would probably be Parcelforce Large parcels service. You would probably do better to sell them in smaller lots that can be rolled up into tubes. Whether collection only is worth considering really depends on your location.

    Sell them individually, make more money.
