Depends, is it just the door frame, or does it include glass? E/W motor? Trim panels?

18.8kgs without the door card so 25kgs should cover a complete door

As count said, IIRC a complete door was 23kgs when I weighed it a while back.

without trying to sound negative reid - i wouldnt get your hopes up too much mate, like mk.999 said, couriers are brutal sometimes, and if it aint dented now, it most likely will be by the time it gets to you, it all depends on how many times it falls over in the van aswell as how well its been packed at the other end. lol

^^^ that man speaks the truth. i used to be a courier so know how stuff gets treated. unless its in a crate it will get dented. ask mr robinson

i just sent stuff by courier today and there was boxes everywhere like he had been hammering it and i was the 120th job off the day at 4pm lol. they were healthy wrapped so unless he jumps on them they should be safe .
