hi all
how much would you say it would cost to post an escort steering rack?

i would say £10 to £15ish

i posted a spitfire rack last year think it was about £10

just won one on the bay of flee
and the joker wants £39,98 pounds postage,
anybody got one for sale ?
cheers paul

Didn't they state postage up front? think there's a get out clause for unreasonable postage demands, that sounds stupid, can only weigh 8 - 10 KG max, Royal mail will do that for 12 quid.

where is it one of us can collect it and post it at a reasonable price?


ch1ll1 - 10/3/08 at 07:59 PM

wouldnt mind if he said £20 still high
but at that price no way never

Probably cheaper to buy a new one from Rallydesign?

I'd say about £6.
I had an r1 can and link pipe delivered for a fiver something.

It's all changed and now depends on size as well as weight. Still seems excessive though. Check the royal mail website for exact costs and you can work out exactly how much it will be.
I have a spare but unfotuantely its not for sale. Keep looking, there always coming up for sale ( with resaonable postage charges)

Ebay might have something to say about those postage prices so i'd query the seller.

From here:- linky

"You can then add a reasonable amount as compensation for packaging materials, plus a modest handling cost. Please bear in mind, though, that it is not permitted to charge excessive postage and packaging, and sellers who are found to be doing this may find that their listings are ended or they are suspended from the site."
