I am trying to send someone a set of sideskirts, this is proving to be very very difficult. I have tried...

Parcel 2 go
Parcelforce
DHL
TNT
Bussiness express

and a few others does anyone know a company that will take parcels 180cm long?

Need some help please.

hrrrmmm i could arrange a reverse collection for you. i.e they pick it up and deliver it. cost you ?25

thats the trouble with our type of account inland its usually between 10 and 15 quid. reverse collections where they pick it up first is always double :(

i've had all sorts delivered to me from city link in all shapes and sizes, never 180cm long but have had a box of computer stuff 1.2 metres by 1metre and they had no problem with that... but dunno what thir prices are like... as thats nothing to do with me really as the consumer.

Either

Amtrak Express Parcels

they are going under but for a one of job they will do it
or if they say no

Night Speed

there also going under but they will def do it.
as my dad works for them and he delivers everything from a fucking huge hp printer thats 7 foot tall and 4 foot wide
which was also to big to fit through the door
to watches and shit for such companies as GoldSmiths

they also do alot of car parts for some top preformance companies

A company called Priority express are taking it for a very reasonable fee too.

DHL would take it but wanted ?100 :!:

Locky- TNT were fine with the size, only they wont do private customers, business ones only.

I will be staying in bristol with TNT so no poping over to the BP on the Leckwith or to Mary's roadside dinner :cry:

Royal Mail take deliveries 3m long by 3m wide. dunno how deep. Phone 192 ask for Royal Mail number, speak to an operator and just check. I am 100% sure that Royal Mail will do it. Phone their main line and ask whats the maximum size parcel you can send. they should say 3mx3mxdunno.
