Had an email asking if i could post (well, actually they told me it would be £17 to post. Don't know how they know that!!!) this item. I have said a courier may be possible.
Its this.

Is there a courier i could use? They are happy to pay for one.

Last week for my MN santa gift I used interparcel.com, and selected DHL 48 service. A reasonably big box weighing 10kg cost me just over £8 inc VAT

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 10/12/2007 10:12

Thanks. Will have a look into those.
I am somehow going to have to weigh the bloody thing now aren't i? And its in the loft! Haven't actually worked out how i am going to get it down on my own if it does sell. lol!

Its actually lighter than i imagined!
Worked it out to be 13.5kg. Had to weigh myself then stand on the scales while holding it!

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 10/12/2007 10:49

Had to go back up to measure it but still need their postcode to find out delivery cost.
Have emailed them so need to wait for a reply now!

I ebay and courier using parcel force. You can do it on line they will pick up for you and deliver directly to you and at a reasonable cost! I bought a pram/travel system on ebay and it cost £28 delivery charge (from Scotland 2 England) there were 1 lge box and two big bags weighed 27kg.
I have a 10% discount code let me find it ...24FC but that's for the 24 hour service!

NappiesGaloriaInExcelsis · 10/12/2007 13:58

you should check out the courier services on ebay. have sent pushchairs for as little as 4.99 next day (with payperdrop, currently not operating in uk, but will be in jan i believe)
