Hi, I have a 60kg item located in Kent which requires to be fetched
back to my home in Shropshire. Its on castors.

I dont think a regular courier (eg parcelforce) would cope with that?

Does it need to be palletised or what does the team think??

TIA Tim.

==================================
60kg isn't particularly heavy for most carriers. City Link (e.g.):

http://www.city-link.co.uk/

allow weights up to 99 kilos before applying a surcharge.


However, IME, City Link won't be able to find the delivery address.

I have used APC for many years

==================================
The point I was making is that the weight of the OP's package isn't
excessive, so it's a case of asking any reliable and conveniently located
carrier if they will accept the job. I'm sure that City Link must have
some satisfied customers, although I'm not recommending them - just
offering them as an example which others may emulate or better.
Personally, I've had rather mixed experiences with them but no real
disasters.

Well, I use them

In fact, I use them quite a lot , I find them quite good on the whole,
except when they get it wrong, they get it well wrong
