Isle of Man.Any cheap couriers

I have just bought a pair of roof rails for my Vauxhall Zafira.
Does anyone know a cheap Ebay courier who can collect for around £10 and deliver to the UK mainland.Blast Payperdrop are dearer for this.

    Hiya I Say :hello:

    I think you are going to have to pay around £25 for this.

    This is the cheapest i could find:

    Best I have found is £11.73.As I am not the sender,it can be difficult sometimes to ask a seller to use a different courier than what they maybe used to (post office...expensive).Worst still I have never used them.Through a google search I got it.Next best I found was Parcelforce at around £14.25 dependant on weight.Then £15.99Seller showing £9.01 so I 'll leave it to him on his one.
    Funny thing is this time I think the PO will win this time on cost.
    My own fault as I bought a metal headboard (that doesn't come apart),not realising it won't fit in my Zafira.153cm x 137cm
    I'm sure I saw a cheap courier on Ebay that included all areas!For a cheap price.

    You see if I had bought this in Cranleigh I could have got the kids to carry it home..........to Crawley.
    Mind you it's only 64miles to Great Missenden.Active Kids ...now that's a thought.Now that's money saving.

    I thought i saw a cheap one for the highlands earlier this week, so i quoted a buyer for my standard £7.50 Courier rate as thats what i saw it for - but all the couriers wanted about £20! :eek:

    Luckily, Its cheaper to post 1st class or standard parcels
