Default Temp storage for windscreen

Hi guys,

The heated windscreen thing is coming closer. Getting it shipped out to me in The Netherlands will cost me 130 gbp. Which is a lot of money. I can drive up and down myself for that money.

Shipping the heated windscreen to a UK address only costs 48 gbp. Which would make it a lot cheaper. Since I will be visiting the UK again in July, I was hoping that somebody is able to store my windscreen for 6 months in a dry and safe place. In July I will be travelling from Dover to Birmingham. So if somebody close to that route is willing to store my windscreen for me, I would be very thankfull. I will even be willing to get you a case of beer and a bag of crisps .

The heated windscreen should be delivered somewhere around February.

There is possibility that somebody else will play Pony Express to bring it to NL, but I can't promise that.

Bit too far north of Birmingham for you Vinnie but the offer is there if need be.

Thanks Neil. I'm currently discussing it with somebody close to London, but I'll keep your offer in mind.

Vinnie

I am less than 10 miles from there and collecting a couple of 260 members. No problem to hold your one. Although I could ship it to you for about the UK price (will check) to the Netherlands from Work.

That sounds great Dominic! Is that form of shipping insured? I imagine a windscreen to be quite fragile, and the Dutch post system is not known for their care and attention (I believe the UK has the same problem?)

I will have a look but yes can insure it cheaply. As the value is not huge, I work for UPS so I can make sure it gets into the Netherlands Trailor ok I will watch the lads do it.

Once it gets close we can decide but no issue to hold it also until the summer

That sounds really good. I would be very interested in knowing more about those prices and possibilities.
