cheap pallet delivery for big items

Options
i have seen a leather interior for my car ie 2 front seats and the rear seat in2 sections, now its pick up only and very far away but the seller says if i arrange shipping he will agree to it, so far any pallet deliveries i have seen are £75 plus vat, can anyone suggest a place to try for cheap pallet delivery from hemel heamstead to west of scotland (not highlands).

cheers

    £75 is about the going rate for a one off, you can probably shave £10 by shopping round the internet. You may be better looking for a local courier, either near you or near the seller.

    One thing to remember (and in most cases not an issue) nut the guys on EBay are resellers and your contract is with them and not the courier so if it goes wrong it can be a bit problematic. The extra £10 might be well spent dealing direct.

    Have you tried shiply.com?

    Basically drivers bid on moving the item for you so there a bit of room for negotiation.

    Why open a year old thread to advertise a company?

    I'm not stalking you just pointing out that the last few posts I have seen by you you are pushing this company. Almost like you are looking out posts about Pallet delivery to promote them. A user with a low amount of posts constantly going on about how great a company is now that's suspicious in anyones book.

    It's just nice for people to stay informed:D
