Courier/van man needed any ideas

Got a little sideline selling rabbit hutches on Ebay :smiley: but i am finding it difficult to find a courier due to the size of them :unamused: . They measure about 1400x1000x400 Anyone got any idea of companies i might try or anyone sold anything big on ebay before and used a courier??

Cheers

Now, not many people know this, but Iā€™ve got a nice little sideline working part time for the Inland Revenue. I have to watch 3 websites for a minimum of 4 hours per day. :sunglasses: . Now, what did you say your ebay handle was? :laughing: .

Sorry mate, Iā€™ve no idea, but the above was only half joking, you never know whoā€™s watching :open_mouth: :laughing: .

Just an afterthought, canā€™t you screw 'em together, then inscrew them and send them (with screws) flatpack?. Be much cheaper. :wink: Canā€™t be rabbit science can it? Sorry :blush: :blush: .

Salut, David.

Van and man type couriers are usually really expensive when ive sold engines before ive used www.postvan.co.uk

Cant you send them flat packed?.

E-Mail me what you got fella.

Try Parcels2Go, they have aset charge but the weight must be under 25 kilos and it is a door to door service.

Why donā€™t you just PM animal and ask her to quoteā€¦? :bulb: :wink:

Why donā€™t you go the whole hog and have an ā€˜En-suiteā€™ bathroom fitted as well :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Ah you need one of these thenā€¦

Hi Bones

Nice hutches btw.

I work for a courier company, based in the Midlands but we go all over the place. Looks like your hutches would need a Transit minimum so you would probably be looking at about 50p - 55p per mile there & back based on our rates.

You could try one of the overnight pallet companies:

Palletforce
Palletline
Business Post do pallets these days

or try the yellow pages for couriers - judging by the number of self employed ones we get ringing us theres plenty of men with white vans out there.

Good luck

Nightfreight might be worth a callā€¦they specialise in big or oddly sized stuff few of the others will takeā€¦ :bulb:

Cheers for the repllies.

Stuck really becasue there is no way i can make them flat pack without changing the design or making them less sturdy. :cry: And if i send them by some of the ā€œparcelā€ companies god knows how they would arrive at the other end!! :open_mouth:

I will just stick with collection only or free local delivery by me i think. Alot less hassle!!

cheers.

They would be self assemby then, probably firewood, sadly.

Dont blame you for keeping control of your delivery/collection.

Good luck and if I ever need a rabbit hutch I know where to come!
