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?

No. There is a 35kg limit.

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


Frankly, its almost worth hiring a van and doing it yourself.


Guessing at around 200 miles, the opportunity cost of using your own
vehicle, discounting time, is around £80.

With hire included, maybe £150-£180.

Getting it all palettised and trucked may cost more.

TIA Tim.

Palletline 3-4 day service £40 plus VAT. for my delivery today
Midlands to Sussex coast. It would cost me more than that in diesel
!!!!!!



What did I say a few posts back?
