Not an OOF courier, just looking for general advice, re: Seen a wheel (just the one, wheel and tyre) in Bedfordshire, on a popular auction website, and I can have it if I can organise my own courier - can anyone recommend one? and prices for a steelie and tyre.
Ta much in advance. :y

Simple as that! :)
Cheapest is 'DX' then Yodel
Never heard of DX, are they any good, anyone? It's steel wheel, so I've no wories about them damaging in transit, so long as it just gets here! :D
-
DX are a big company, started out specalising in document delivery, Courts used to use them all the time for moving documents around, and Court documents have to be where they should be every time on time !!. Never used them for parcels though so can't comment on that side really.
-
Good enough for me :y
-
Recently used TNT with good results... was booked via Parcel2go. It seems that they have finally relaxed their Domestic to Domestic policy ::)
As an example, it cost £13 to send a pair of roof bars next day :y
-
Where in befrordshire is it,might be able to get oof courier get it to billing for you. :y
-
Oooh, that's a thought!
It's mk420dz if that's any good?
:)
-
I know where it is,bedford isnt that far from billing,should have said as i was near there last night and could have picked it up.
-
Ahh, appreciate the offer, I only spotted the thing this morning, so no worries.
I'll chuck up a last-minute Wanted Ad, see if anyone wants to sell me their spare wheel and they're coming to Billing :)
-
Its only about 25 mins away from billing,if you did want it ,more than happy to navigate :y
-
Didn't realise it was that close, to be honest. Thanks, I will investigate this option, Mr 4x4 :y
-
We have some parcels delivered into work by DX, if you could see the knuckle dragging polish they have working for them you can see why they are cheap. Ive not yet received a box thats not got some kind of rip in it. If you do use them get the sender to wrap up well :y
-
If it's just a steelie for an Omega... if it is, I can bring a spare to Billing with me you can have :) for nowt/FOC

As it's not been mentioned, myhermes is very popular with ebay businesses at the moment, I used them myself and they are pretty cheap to be fare.
-

I've had two delivered by them and sent one with them with no issues, may be it's just your winning personality that causing the problem :P ;D

Explain?
He arrives, picks parcel up, scans it, puts it in his van, off he goes to his next collection 1of possibly 25+ as well as keeping to his stupid times to deliver, to every body, he might have run out of sparkle buy the time he gets to you.

Mum had ordered a small step ladder which he had to crush the box to fit in his Renault Kangoo instead of using his noodle and getting someone else to deliver it... And then had the audacity to kick off when she refused to sign for it... Took 2 goes and a different courier/company to deliver it intact. There prices are also not that great ;)
-
One problem in how many thousands of other delivery that were fine, the prices are reasonable if not quite cheap. I had a parcel delivered by royal mail that cost £11.03 yet the same weight cost half that with here's, you do the math.
-
I would rather spend a couple quid and know that it will be collected and delivered properly than save the money and wonder why it has arrived three days late in next doors bin ::)
