How can I send a large parcel (1.5x1.5m?)

Dinah93

I'm really struggling to find anyone who will take a parcel of this size. 19kg. Not fragile, definately can't be made any smaller. No one seems to take a parcel this large and I'd appreciate any ideas!

Parcelforce will do it :

Unfortunately when I input the details I get this: 

Oh no!Looks like there was a problem getting your quote. Either the weight is too high, the dimensions are too big, or the service is not available between the selected locations. Please check your item and try again.

From parcel force as yes I thought they would, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it's possible

1.5m x 1.5m x ??  You are missing a vital dimension.

Size and Weight

• Individual parcels can weigh up to 30kg. Your full consignment of parcels can weigh as much as you wish
• Parcels can be up to 2.5 metres in length and the length and girth combined should not exceed more than 4 metres

But it seems your parcel is too large anyway, 1.5m + (1.5m + 1.5m + 2x thickness) is over 4m.

You are going to struggle as even a standard pallet is only 1.2m x 1m.

the missing dimension is 30cm, but yes, definately struggling!

ParcelBroker say they can deal with such size via DHL but the price doubles if you state it's not stackable. 

If its not going too far you may be better off with a service like Shiply

Are any of the companies listed here of any help?

How far does it have to go?

Is it possible to pay someone to drive it to its new location? ie as in a loal person with a van and relevant ins.

You can get an oversized pallet delivery which is 2.4m x 2m but that's £136 currently with palletonline.co.uk That's showing including a 20% discount, it's usually £170.
My best advice, if it's not too valuable would be to ask on local Facebook groups, one near where it's being sent from and one where it's going to. Either that or just take it yourself.
