Hi all, can anyone reocmmend any firms I can approach to get a quote for transporting a kayak paddle from Scotland to England please? It is likely to be just over 2m in length by 60cm by 10cm and weigh about 1.5kg. Most firms are charging over £50. thank you in advance

    Just did a quote based on the info given and it would be £31.80 dropped off at a PF depot, £33.70 collected.
    Unfortunately things that long, irrespective of weight and other dimensions, ain't cheap anywhere.

    Yep, takes up a lot of space they would otherwise use for several other parcels, so they charge accordingly.

    Probably still cheaper than driving it there yourself though, and takes a lot less of your time!
