Again thanks mate.

Paisley coming back at £70. Does that sound fair?

 

[David Stuart]

Considering the weight and size I think it’s not bad. Does that include insurance.

Another company I use for smaller car parts is “parcel2go”. You could always put the details in there and see if any of the couriers on that service will do up to the weight of a gearbox.

Wrap it in a f**k ton of cardboard and put softenings around the tin end cover. Go on interparcel and choose the UPS option. Weight is 36/37kg and it’ll cost you about £35 ish.

Paisley freight WILL f**k you about if it’s on a pallet. Trust me - me and @rsi_scotty have been pissed around by them twice as all they do is sublet the job out.

I was going to say I've shipped pallets before using Paisley Freights and not had an issue before and would have been my suggestion.

Considering Northloop has done the legwork and its coming in sub £40 then, I think I'll be sacking off Paisley freights too...

I usually build a wooden crate around heads, engines and gearboxes, bolt them to the wood so they move as 1 unit and just shove copious amounts of cardboard and bubble wrap around them. Then staple and tape cardboard to the wood because shipping companies are weird and sometimes wont post anything not in a cardboard box🙄😂

Engines cant move if they're bolted to something😂

I've had to ship a couple about places, once to @NorthloopCup. I used TNT, came in at around £35-40 from memory. Big cardboard box with some strategically placed bits of wood and stuffed full of old newspaper

Just put a first class stamp on the end cover and leave next to the post box

Where is the go to to get a gearbox shipped now? @2 Clios Jon has a gearbox in Darlington but it is a way from me. I’ve looked at the UPS option but it says a gearbox is on the prohibited list.

A mini pallet is the cheapest I've found if you don't want your s**t to get broken

I think they've temporarily suspended them for now due to a backlog.
