:scared toss:

There was a thread yesterday about bootlids and couriers... TBH, the answer is DON'T. It's almost guaranteed to turn up mangled, unless it's been crated up.

As said Dan, a boot lid needs some serious packaging and corner protection to get to you in one piece. I've had a Prelude boot delivered before. It left the guy in mint condition, but didn't arrive in a condition I was prepared to put on the car :roll:

Hi Dan, Just got a boot lid delivered 2 days ago , it was mint when it left and Dazzie packed like you wouldn't believe, it still turned up trashed but you wouldnt know until you open up all the boxes , so if you must ship it check it when its delivered and if the courier wont wait sign as damaged to protect yourself even then unless its in a manufacturers package it aint covered.

Try shipley.com, self employed couriers bid on your collection/delivery and they seem to take care of items a bit more :)

Where abouts in Essex?
If it needs collected pretty urgently but you're in no rush to actually received, I could maybe collect and store it for you till you can get LG express organised?
