UK -> UK shipping companies?

Post by courior » Fri Jun 19, 2015 4:02 pm

Im trying to get a courier to send a gearbox from London to Essex... does anyone know of a reputable company that does not have engine/gearbox on its prohibited item list.

I found this but looks a bit dodgy!

Or if anyone in and around Staines feels like going to essex for some extra pocket money lemme know :) destination postcode is RM15 4YA.

Cheers!

I'd go get it for you, but the SJ has a busted up front axle right now. Who's it for?

When do you need it by? I might be able to get it next time I go down to see Alex, he's not far from Staines, and then pass it on a day or two later.

But you'd have to wait, I have to build up a new front axle first, and I'm having a few health problems again.

Its not super urgent. Im not sure if my booking with the maltese shipping company will expire tho as its been booked for a while.. i guess not tho, i paid them so they should be happy! Ill take you up on the offer for now unless we find a courier first tho (to save time and hassle for you). Thanks for the offer mate!

Ok, keep me in the loop if you find a courier, otherwise I'll get my axle done next week and hopefully I can pick the gearbox up for you after that.

All being well I'll fix my axle next week...
