Getting My Stuff Back!

Didn't exactly know where to put this.

I recently moved back from the Isle of Man after a few months spent with friends, I just had to take some time out from my day to day life!

Anyways, I bought a lot of stuff whilst I was over there and I need to find a way of getting it from there to here (Nottinghamshire).

What's the best way of transferring my stuff?

The options I see are -

- Hire a man with a van.

- Courier services?

- Getting my friend to post the stuff to me (very expensive I'd imagine!)

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks.

    The last time I put a van on the ferry to the Isle of Man it was £1000+
    I did get a free meal though

    Your friends are probably willing to pay the van hire.. ;)

    'a lot of stuff'

    is this dope?
    or antique furniture?
    or postage stamps?
    it makes a difference

    on re-reading the OP it could almost be a troll...
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
  • A troll? Haha.

    No, stuff like an exercise bike, a few big boxes of DVDs, some furniture and a computer desk.

    I'm genuinely asking a serious question.

    Seriously?

    Unless it's antique, irreplaceable and has a sentimental value, sell it on Ebay, then buy similar second hand on Ebay.

    Yes but the postage to purchase again, may as well post it to himself in Nottingham!
