Can you recommend a Courier ?

Post by Bagpuss »

Hi,
I have seen a piece of equipment on eBay , it's up in Cleveland ( I'm in Essex ) and weighs approximately 40 Kgs. Can anyone recommend a reliable courier company that would pick it up and drop it off to me ? baring in mind it's a bit of a lump. I've never organised anything like this before :oops:

Thanks in advance,
Adam

If the equipment is valuable (ie maybe a CMC for instance), then if you have a vehicle that is capable of transporting it, I'd seriously suggest getting it yourself. If it's just a load of bricks, then you can probably trust it to someone else.

I did this in reverse with my Morso (I'm near York, my Morso was in Essex), and I'm glad I did, although how much damage a courier could possibly inflict on a Morso is open to debate!

Good luck with your new purchase though, whatever it is!
