A courier for heavy items

I have 4 items, all identical, weighing about 13kg each. They aren't that bulky.

I need to get these from Inverness to near Ayr, as cheaply as possible. I can stick them in one big parcel, or two parcels, or whatever is cheapest. Delivery time is not important, but price is. Parcel force is £35 each for up to 30kg, which makes £70 total which is steep.

Anyone who finds me a cheap (er) courier, I will love you forever and make sure I do you a favour. Boxby isn't working for me atmo.

Thanks very much.

    I think the problem is going to be your IV postcode. I have used ones from ebay but when I looked just now to get the details for you, they don't cover IV. Sorry.
  • Hi there op,

    Have a wee look at senditnow.com - I have used them loads of times before (they are parcelforce btw) I have had no problems with them - unlike just about every other courior you could mention :rolleyes:

    I know that they aren't the cheapest around however in my experience they do come and collect when you book them!

    Try City Link (google them).

    We use them at work, they're very reasonable.
