Parcel Service
Has anyone used United Parcels as advertised on Ebay?
I need to send a m/c wheel from Scotland to Dorset and it needs to be insured for £1500.
Bill.

No, but I just used Parcel2go for a 7KG parcel to Germany insured for £200, for £25.
DHL are the carrier and collected on time as booked.

Are not most of these agents? I've used similar and UPS have ended up delivering it - at less than UPS rates. Insurance seems good value for
what must be a very special wheel.

Probs Carbon Fibre, the BST ones on my old Ducati were over £3000 for the pair.

Parcels2go gets my thumbs up, they run a super service.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

The problem is the insurance. Parcel 2go only goes up to £500, DHL the same..
The wheel is off a 1957 AJS 7R. Mag alloy with TLS Brake.

How much is a "remanufactured one" (can you get them?)

Re manufactured for about £2500.
I've just sold this one and need to get it delivered.
United parcel offer enhanced insurance at a cost but I wanted to know if they were good or not so good.
