Does anyone know of a parcel service suitable for something pretty big / heavy...?

I've bought a Kart in Ipswich, seller reckons its about 185cm long, and all the parcel companies seem to only deal with stuff below 150cm.

Any advice appreciated - I can't afford a pallet!

Cheers,
Stu

pallet £40 to £60 depending on distance.

Look like you need to get the hacksaw out or fit it in diagonally?

Just checked and don't think it would even fit on a pallet!

Maybe I could get the train there and drive it back

Rent a small van for the day. Wont cost much different to a pallet and its an excuse for a day out

Just been quoted £95 + VAT for collection / delivery... Definately going with the road trip - £30 for a whole day cruising the motorways!

Have u tried TNT?? Do u know anyone with a big estate car? My mate used to race karts and him and his dad used to take in the back of a volvo 850 estate with no trouble.

tnt!! i remember trying to get a company to pick my chassis up from luego at peterborough down to south wales! cant remember exact price but it was more than i paid for the bloody chassis. ended up renting a van for the weekend and made a roadtrip.

Try http://www.interparcel.com/ up to 300cm x 150cm, cost depends on weight but they have allways been reasonable with me, i.e just sent 3 x 30kg parcels for £46 all in

Try www.postvan.com they do heavy stuff for £30 & extra heavy for £40, don't think they have the 1.5m size restriction
