Hi,

just wondering if anyone could recommend an inexpensive courier that could collect a pallet in the UK (north west England)?

Quotes I've seen so far - £125+vat and £150+vat. Its a set of seats & door cards so not huge & not very heavy, but the cheapest way would probably be by pallet.

Kev.

I had to organize a courier for a 100kgs pallet from uk. The cheapest quote I found was 120 pounds. I ended up spliting the pallet into 3 smaller packages. If you can get the package under 30kgs its only 20pounds/package so it works out cheaper. You should also check the volumetric weight as the 30kgs limit refers to the highest between the actual weight and the volumetric one.
