Anyone have any idea ruffly how much in total 4 15" alloy wheels will weigh????

parcel force are okay (or as I know them parcel farce coz they took 3 weeks to delivere a set of bumpers!)

www.parcelforce.co.uk

Boxing them up makes it easier for the courier and protects the rims from getting damaged. It just means sticking them in cardboard - wrap them in bubble pack before hand though.

Depending on weight (if its rims only it'll be lighter) youre looking at about ?30 - depends on distance for some too.

Just type in google "couriers uk" for a list. there is one that will collect and eliver that seems reasonable but I cant think of their name just now.

Great ade thanks a lot mate,i just need to find out how much the rims weigh now, and get the bloke to do the packaging. it looked on parcelfarce - (lol) - and based on 30kgs its ?30 or about that - but i have no idea how much the wheels will weigh :?

I used to work for ParcelForce and you wouldnt believe some of the things I've seen.

Basically for a 48hour parcel your talking ?13.50 a parcel but you also have to add extra money on for parcels weighing over 10kg . The problem is that they have a maximum weight limit of 30kgs (due to only one driver going out in each van, thats the maximum they're allowed to lift.)

That means that your gonna have to package them singly rather than 2 on top of each other. When I sold a set of alloys on ebay the postage through parcel force would have cost ?80+ for a set of four. I ended up charging a delivery fee and taking them myself as it worked out a lot cheaper.

^ Yep, and if you're in gloucester it may well work out cheaper to drive down cornwall and back yourself!!

hang on - if you won the wheels from him make him do all the donkey work!

:evil:

unless of course it was a collection only sale in which case oops!

I'm looking at a set of multi spokes from a guy in Manchester at the mo - says he doesnt have time to get them sent via courier. Debating whether to nip down road and get them.

Similar to SRS1's multi spokes
