Hi all

Apologies, dont really know where this request belongs, but I am looking for a cheap courier service to collect a complete exhaust unit from Birmingham and delivered to an address in Hertfordshire.
I know some couriers wont do car parts.

Not too bothered about speed of service.
Any ideas please?


Thanks as always

    It's pricey generally for a courier to do a single item over a long distance. My father in law used to be a courier and there were lots of phone calls asking him to collect items and the callers expected it to cost £20 or £30. You are looking at 3 figures for that kind of distance unless you choose a courier that uses a hub like the large courier companies.
