Posting an interior???? WTF where do I start?????????

[Widge]

I've been made a nice offer on my leather seats but the guy wants them couriring to Brighton, where the hell do I start.
I don't have any pallates lying around.

Anyone got any ideas.

[stevetigger]

I dont have any pallets lying around either but when I sold my engine, I needed one.............................. so I went to the local industrial estate and took one.

[Jimbob]

Like Steve said, local industrial estate you're bound to find one.

[Widge]

Yep may come to that, how did you tie it down?
And what pallate service did you use?

[E30Mark]

Most industrial estates / garden centres / haulage companies / etc / etc will be a good source of pallets.

Noo, this is not the easiest way. I have done them like this and its a 45 quid flat rate. But its a pain to get it on a pallet. I would send as 3 parcels by parcel force. It costas about 55 quid, but hey the buyer payes this!! This is what i have done on the past.

Widge I Sold a whole touring interior on ebay doorcards aswell,I cant remember the exact weight but the only scales I had access to were bathroom scales lol, As mad or as daft as it sounds I picked every item up stood on the scales & deducted my weight I then booked it through parcel force all the door cards were bundled together the rear cushions went strapped & wrapped with the two front seats it went as one parcel ,There is a weight limit & mass limit on parcels, 45kgs I think it was then,I cant remember what the mass limits were but I just scraped through,Parcel force came to pick the interior up & thought I was taking the p*ss I then told him they had all been professionally weighed & were within the limits anyway after the shock he decided that there was'nt enough room in the van plus he needed someone else to help him so he would speak to the manager & come back tommorow,Which he did & as good as gold the interior went (I had a feeling that no one would be arsed unloading the interior & dragging on to the scales)Parcel force are different now though through privatisation. Just Make sure it packed well, Its worth a try!

You could do what my mate done get a train to brighton take some nutter like me along for the trip like he did, get ur helper their then tell him were gonna get a cab to pick up some bits for my car and then get some mcd's on the way back to the train.

Me being the helper thought great pick up the bits and drive through witht he cabby, wicked.

But no a people mover meets us at the station with the rear seats out, so im thinking ok./

go tot he house and shock and horror the guy opens his garage and their is a full leather interior sitting their.

Im gogin to luke na na, he's nodding going yes, the little shit had bought the pug 206 interior door cards and all.

Im thinking na it aint gonna work go through mc'ds like he promised get back tot he train station and have to go in the cycle section and then we sat on th eseats for 3 hours on the way back home and his old man meet us with his van.

He pulled it off and it cost 200 for the seats etc and 30 for the travel and 20 for the mc'd

that was fun

Nice idae, but like I'm going to go to all that trouble to deliver it for him. You have to pay me a lot to sitt on a train to brighton.
