Shipping for Large Items

[Rally Pack 2000]

I have been desperately wanting to get a MK2 grill off @Miniliteman for some time. He has been very patient. The trouble is the few courier companies that will ship a long item like a grill want several hundred Euros. Burtons and MST can seem to ship grills for 60 pounds through DHL yet when you try DHL as an individual they want 4 times  that. Any help or suggestions would really be helpful. Its unfair to keep him waiting for so long. Thanks guys

Hi James, have been looking for alternative couriers but cannot find any. Grille itself is 135 x 22 x 6 cm and weighs 1.6 kgs. Cheapest I can find for this (but should add some for packaging) is UPS at 180 Euros . If anyone knows how Burton and MST ship them ?

Do you have UPS there? That sounds like the best option we have had yet. Maybe thats the one we roll with

Thats  a good price! Im not sure if it would be a good price from the Netherlands to the UK now that you Bexited? I will wait for @Miniliteman to reply and see what he says.

Parcelforce does not operate from the Netherlands.

@Vista Estate: can you PM me your address so I can get a quote to post the grille to you?

[Miniliteman]

Had a quick look at postage from me to UK: seems UPS is again cheapest at around 90 Euro. Will pack the grille in a lean way and let you both know the actual packed dimensions and weight.
