Engine Shipping/Carriage in the UK

Hi Guys

I need to get an engine from the NW to me in Bedfordshire. Anyone know a good courier to use for engines and any ideas on the price?

Thanks

Harvey

Don't use a courier, use a freight company and get a pallet rate. Could be as low as £30.

I recently paid £75 for next day delivery including a pallet for it to be placed on (12 extra).

Then they add vat...
