Courier for large item? (double pushchair)

Which courier do you use for large items? Selling a double buggy which weighs 14kgs and is quite bulky. What do you recommend? Thanks

I will bump it up for you but I would simply put buyer collect.

Agree put collection only. If they want you to recommend a courier you could tell them to try Shipley.com. Different couriers bid and you can choose which one based on price and ratings.

Measure accurately but get it as small as possible 14kg is normally about £12 but because likely to be outsize ,maybe upto £30 get some quotes online

make sure you state that highlands and islands of scotland / northern island channel isles isle of man etc are extra; ask them to send their postcode at least 24 hours before auction ends for you to check

select heavy bulky item instead of domestic postage flat rate

do not let buyer book own courier as you will have no proof of delivery

have sent antique cast iron sink weighed 50kg and had garden tractor done with courier its fine,

get 2-3 giant crisp boxes to make 1 really big box, or similar from supermarket about 10 old newspapers for packing edges etc and a reel of brown parcel tape

good luck as for anyone more than 100 miles away it will be cheaper to post and will get yuo better price as larger market but of course they can not try before buy so more possible to get complaints and having to refund

you could security mark it before sale too

Thanks for all the replies. I have already said I will send!
Good advice Sarah, seems the size is the issue. I need to get the snack tray off somehow and wheels should come off easily. Then it won't be quite so big and might just get a reasonable quote.
I had the same thinking that it would widen the market offering postage. Got a good sale price!!
