Wheel courier?
 
Hi folks I have purchased a set of alloys in Essex and need to get them over to Northern Ireland. Can anyone recommend a courier that will lift them without being packaged, the guy I got them off says he too busy to package them.

Thanks

Thomas

Is it just wheels no tyres?

Get him to stick them in a bin bag as most wont collect if there not packaged in some way.

If it’s just alloys see if he will tape 2 together and stick them in a bag.
I normally use Send it now which are parcelforce and will collect up to 30kg per parcel so would be classed as 2 parcels if done as above.
If he won’t tape together it’ll be 4 parcels, Paisley freight will work out cheaper if it’s 4 parcels but again they’ll need to be wrapped.

No it’s wheels and tyres. So if I can get seller to stick them in bin bags will Paisley freight collect them?

I’ve used them before and sent some wheels which were only wrapped in a bin bag but looks as though they have changed there packing advice.


https://www.paisleyfreight.com

PACKAGING

Excludes 4x4s and SUVs.

Each parcel cannot exceed 30kg as it will be rejected at the collection depot and returned to the collection address incurring a failed collection charge.

Goods need to to be individually wrapped with bubble wrap over the entire alloy wheel and then fully enclosed with cardboard with an address label put on each parcel.

Please securely affix your own delivery labels to each parcel.

That’s the problem the seller won’t package them.

Not a very helpful seller then.

It doesn’t take long to parcel them up.

e30325itourer 23rd October 2017 08:53

I know that now unfortunately

http://www.simpsontransport.com costs more than Paisley freight but will wrap them up themselves and no need for shipping labels.

See if a local member could collect and pack them for you
