    Need to post my dymags, forks and frame at some point (all seperately), already asked on TDR. Just wondered which service you guys would recommend to keep it cheap?

    I use parcelmonkey.co.uk a lot for heavier items - dunno what their weight limit it is but it's usually a LOT cheaper than ParcelFarce...

    When I weighed my fishing tackle in I used APC for the larger heavier items bivvy bedchairs bait etc.
    Not sure where your nearest depot is though?
    But it's a 24hr service and they collect from your door, not sure what else your posting, but I'd suggest a phone call to the office for a quoate rather than having the frustration of trying to go through online. For example if your sending the engine? They will require this on a pallet, and possibly shrink wrapped?
    Get the dimensions at hand, I learned this is more important than actual weight for a price.
    You'll find them here http://www.apc-overnight.com/

    Try and avoid your one man band couriers, although they offer a good service, they seldom get return loads and you end up paying over the odds
