Title: OOF Postal Service - Surrey to Northants
Post by: TheBoy on 13 April 2009, 09:58:44
Might need to get a 50cmx50cmx50cm (approx) item, weighing approx 20-25kg from Reigate to Brackley.

What are the chances of getting a chain going...

would have to speak nicely to mother tunnie, is it in a nice clean box? (there could be trouble otherwise)

She goes to Camberley in Surrey most weeks  :y

They would have to lift in in, just thinking how big that is, the dogs get the back of the Estate

Camberley is not that close to Reigate.....

Im about 12 miles from Reigate and dont mind picking up but not sure how far that would get you. :-/

I did try something like this a couple of weeks ago but got nowhere.

I personnally think its a good thing for club members to do and a great thing :y

Depends on if I win said item from well known auction site...

...saying that, I'm looking at another similar item, so might not be needed, but I know I have a fallback plan if necessary :y

Cheers guys :y

i'm in Reigate next monday and could work something out to drop it off on my way back to the midlands.  

That is providing I can replace my rear springs on sunday 'cos I managed to break a big chunk off yesterday.  Just need a set of axle stands and it'll be easy

oh and if not, try interparcel - should cost you £8 inc VAT

I'm now in Reigate on Monday BUT - going by train via London (got to be in London on Tuesday).  i guess its not the sort of thing I could carry on train/underground?

If you need to collect quickly, I'm sure I can arrange storage for a little while  in Reigate - got a few colleagues in Reigate (as I work for one of the biggest employers in the town!)
