arcot1751 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I use a company called Shiply who advertise on ebay and Google but as far as I am aware do not just work for ebay items. You give details of what you want picking up where from where to etc and various couriers/haulage firms bid to win the job. Basically it works on the back load system ie. it is better to drive back loaded than empty if they have just delivered in the area. I have had motorbikes shipped from one end of the country to the other for £80 I couldn't do it for three times that. A friend has had a lathe moved and again the price was very cheap compared to other quotes he had. There is a feedback system so you can pick a reputable firm. There does not appear to be a limit on items transported so vehicles are carried along with small items. However I think an Antar might cause a few raised eyebrows ! Hope that helps, Best Wishes David :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I seen on another site in Aus they have a thread for forum courier services. It lists: - courier companies, forum members recommend - and forum members going on a trip can advise and deliver stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses APC I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry275 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 We use either APC for parcels or Systematic for pallets, at work!!! Both good Gerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffyHerrbert Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 thirded, Interparcel/UPS - been using for years with very few problems - 25kg or thereabouts, as long as its not massive/particularly long etc. is usually delivered the day after pick-up by UPS (even tho I use the 48hr service) for £9.59 (inc. VAT) - UPS are always reliable/professional - very slick and friendly too (havn't tried APC as they don't tend to quote thru Interparcel. Guess it goes without saying but avoid Yodel :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
