Post by: Martin_1962 on 28 February 2014, 21:20:31

I sent some V6 heads out a while back, weighed around 40 kg a pair and cost IRO £24 via UPS if I remember correctly

Am I the only one that thought of the film ' seven' when they read the title to this thread?

UPS aren't the cheapest, but are one of the best :y

You get exactly what you pay for, they collect it from you, and deliver it where you send it within the time you specify. No fuss, no bother :y

Don't tape the box up before the driver comes to collect it though, as legally they have to see inside the box :y

Actually I think I went through interparcel or someone and it ended up being UPS who picked them up, I posted them in a plastic crate and he certainly didn't open it up.
