36kg Parcel

[Owen Drumm]

I use Despatch Bay to send out parcels but they only take up to 29kg. They have quoted me a price of £65 on top of my normal £7.22. Anyone know of any courier that can send a 36kg parcel from England to Scotland cheaper?

Can you break it into two parcels for a total of £14.44?

Take a look at Interparcel Economy Service (uses UPS) which is quoting £10.99 + VAT for parcels upto 40kg (volumetric weight may be an issue if the item is very large.

The max volume appears to be 0.24 cubic metres.

As much as I would like to, I don't think the customer would be happy with two halves of a punch bag.

LOL You could send them a packet of plasters too?

Tuffnells do as many parcels as you want up to 20kg, you can cheat with a 40kg parcel and still put it as a 20kg parcel, sometimes you get caught, sometimes you dont, rough with the smooth, but theres a minimum £20 spend a week, £10 fuel surcharge per invoice and extra for home delivery, we've looked at a lot of couriers and currently use the above, RM and Fastways.
The downside of the latter is they dont cover the whole of the country, have different priced tickets for different parts of the countries and you have to buy tickets up front.
Anyone else have a good deal with couriers without sending out the Amazon amount of parcels??

If you PM me, I could book CityLink to collect from you on my account ("Third Party Collection") and deliver to your customer for twenty quid.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys. I managed to get a courier where they ship by UPS £15.99 up to 50kg!
