    Ive sold the engine from my bike to make way for the new lump to go in and the buyer has asked me to look in to shipping options, has anyone ever sent an engine and if so who did you use? Is from portsmouth to Glasgow. Any tips or links would be appricated :)


    Thanks

    Try one of those auction sites
    Where they bid for your business

    In work I use APC Couriers and have no complaints at all and we probably send out about 10 parcels a day 5 days a week.

    That's odd. Granted, when we send engines out, it is generally classed as a pallet rate, so I would imagine that it would be in the region of £65 for a next day before 16.00 service.

    Use parcel 2 go but use TNT I sent 2 r6 engines last week around 34+ Vat and just cut a pallet up so dimensions smaller

    Also sent a ybr125 engine to France 29 with parcel force this was only 26 kg though
