Large (Kart) Parcel Service
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

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

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
Cheers

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