Hi Guys,

I'm trying to have some lude seats and door cards etc sent from Cornwall - TR15 to St Albans - AL3 and getting fairly wild costs/quotes.

Anyone got any good recommendations or have experience of this so know the weights and sizes involved?

Of course if one of our Cornish members commutes up to London......in a van....

Any help much appreciated.

i could weight one of my spare lude seats, plus measure it - then you have an idea of what to go on?

Try http://www.sendapallet.co.uk/ - I used them to pick up a pallet from @preludemanh22 which had an interior on and it all went smoothly.

I had a quick check and the cost based on the two post codes you put above was £76.80 inc. VAT based on a single pallet sent economy. I send pallets at work frequently, and for the distance I don't think that cost is too bad at all.

Failing that have a look online for any 'man with a van' types based down that way - you might find somebody may do it on the cheap.

I take it you've also tried anyvan, shiply, uship etc.?

There's Cornwall and then there's Camborne, that's a little too deep for me, is the seller happy to wrap it all up? That's the biggest problem I had posting some seats awhile ago, I think I used Paisley freight?

Thanks Drax, a kind offer.

I'll try not to trouble you with that though.

JJ that's great. I haven't tried those no, that's just the sort of site info I was after.
Will check em out right now.

Same

I thought about combining it with a trip to see some rels but it's still a very long way from them too TBH.

Will check out Paisley Freight too, ta.

I'm going to Newquay in my van in August for Boardmasters, you'll probably get it sorted before then but if not I don't mind picking them up whilst I'm there. Assuming the seller would hold them for 3 months

Wrapping is no problem, I have a load of bubblewrap..

@Wurlycorner is having my rear arches and bonnet.. I don't know how desperate he is to physically possess them, but he may require your assistance as we're not sure on the best way to ship them either.

Although, I have a friend who often travels from Cornwall to Banbury in a Caddy van, I don't know if that's near either of you, but maybe he could help cart some stuff up the line..
