Whats the cheapest method of having a large parcel collected and delivered.

I need to return a large awning to a buyer at my cost. It was delivered on a lorry and will need to go back the same way

    That's going to be a difficult one, what is the packed weight and dimensions of box? If this is massive you might well be looking at a man with a van type of thing and that's going to vary hugely depending on post codes.

    You probably want someone who will get it delivered rather than just the cheapest!
    As Soolin says you'll need more information. Under 30kg you should get most couriers to do it. Parcelforce offer a large parcel service that gets a bit more weight and size. After that there are pallet deliveries and man & van type deliveries.

    Looks like cheapest is £125 so I'm going to return it myself but the company are not accepting callers due to Covid but after a bit of arguing on the phone she agreed to let me take it back after Covid and she sent me an email to evidence that agreement. Hay Ho
