courier prices for buggy - also couriering to Rep Of Ireland - anyone know about this?

[jeangenie]

Hi

I'm currently ebaying a P&T buggy and have put £30 as the Postage/Delivery charge just because I saw that's what was on the other listings - being very lazy - where do I find out how to courier this - as I guess that's what I will have to do?
also, have had lots of queries from Rep Of Ireland ebayers (must be severe shortgae of P&Ts there!) asking how much to send there - how do I find this out?

thanks, I've never sold anything so bulky before so am at a bit of a loss...

does anybody know about couriering?

UKcourierhome.homestead.com do good prices to the scottih higlands be worth getting a quote for Republic of ireland, don't forget about insurance though.

thanks - wow they do do great rates for England...have you used them? can you recommend?

unfortunately they don't do Rep Ireland - maybe I will just have to say I won't sell to Ireland...seems a shame

AuntiFi recommended them to me, I've not used them yet but they use DHL

ah thanks, well DHL are good -

does anyone else have any tips on couriers to use/avoid?

I still can't find anyone to courier to southern Ireland though

look on ebay for courier agents to southern Ireland.

I've had no problems using MHdirectcouriers.co.uk booking direct NOT via ebay but other people had problems - I always book on a working day for the next working day generally, think they do Europe as well.

the best and only quote I have had so far is for £100

I responded to queries about sending to ireland saying that I couldn't get a quote and so advised not bidding, published these onto the listing but in the end the winner was someone from Ireland who hadn't contacted in advance to ask about charges...

I emailed her to say don't pay yet while I find out how much will be, £100 is shocking though but I can't find anyone else yet

I just wish someone in UK had won, as this is taking up a bit too much time and effort...am a bit peeved tbh, not sure whether this is justifiable or not...I hadn't put anything on there about NOT posting overseas, but had only put price for UK...

anyone got any other good ideas about what I should do
