Anyone got anyexperience in this area.

 

I need to get a large item transported from Glasgow to me in Essex.

Item is only about 50kg but 1.4m x 1.35m x 1.1m in size.

DHL quoted me £650 as due to the size it get put under the 400kg category.

:helpsmilie:

 

I've worked out that 2 day van rental + deisel is only about £300. + 15 hours of my life which I won't get back.

 

I've also considered the train from London to Glasgow and meet and greet van rental from there. But all the rental places seem to close at 12:00 on Saturday and are not open on Sunday so no good for me as I need to do this on a weekend only.

 

Any idea's links or suggestions?

Someone like pallet line as on a pallet might be cheaper?

Can the 50kg be split in two?

Hi Stu - look here, they use & compare various companies: http://www.parcel2go.com/Quote-page.aspx?dest=214&col=214&p=%5e50%7c140%7c135%7c110

Just got a quote from Pallet line. just under £80. Wow.

That will do me just fine. Thanks Anthonyd.

 

Cheers for responding as well Paul. But I don't think I'll get cheaper than that.

 

BTW it's a pond purification system (i.e. Nexus 310), just incase you were wondering what I'm doing with my spare time now I don't have a 300zx LOL.

Forget all those parcel companies.Look up on the web a haulier in Glasgow that travels down to Essex phone around for the best price. ask for an economy pallet service.£60 will see u right.
