Alloy/tyre couriers
« on: August 07, 2013, 09:58:04 pm »
Evening all.

Can anyone recommend a well priced and reliable tyre/alloy courier service?

I have a set of 4 x 17" alloys with tyres that i will need to post from the Scottish Highlands (IV36 postcode)

TIA

Seems pretty well priced.  Had literally just pulled these up from google.  £20 cheaper than the others so far.  Cheers  :happy2:

Used Paisley Freight a few times, last time a couple of weeks ago shipping a mk5 bumper and never had a problem, on time with tracking provided. :happy2:

They are relatively cheap as their insurance is based on only being £5 per kilo for "popular services" items, If you want extra insurance to cover the actual cost then it mounts up. If your wheels/tyres are £500 then add £20, if £750 then add £25 etc etc etc

I've used Parcel Monkey and Parcel2go on numerous occasions and have had no problems.
So long as the wheels have a ton of bubblewrap and cardboard you should have no problems as they only subcontract mainstream couriers
