Nope, not a typo. £107.33 lol outrageous. Would be cheaper for me to deliver them myself!



Hello this would be £107.33. You would need to book this with customer services on 0870 11 00300 as it is too big to book online.

Many thanks

Most places won't take it due to the length.

Yeah, i'm getting that impression. How do these companies selling on eBay get round it?

Trade sellers usually have special accounts with deriverry companies. I remember when I worked at a popular movie memorabilia company in Sherborne, we used to send large (and heavy) parcels via royal mail no hassle.

Pete, book interparcel on their 24-48hr delivery (7 quid + vat i think) and make the measurements 1m x 40cm x 30cm. then a nice man comes round in a ups lorry & takes them no questions asked.
I sent some bumpers the other week that way.

Hmmm, sounds like an idea. BUT i'd be mega peed off if he turns up to collect and refuses because of size. Will give me all sorts of headaches, letting the buyer down etc....

i've sent & had collected several bumpers, spoilers & a large roof rack that were all 'resized' and I have never had any bother
