Hi
I'm just enquiring how people go about sending heavy things ? I have a cylinder head i might sell but I'm clueless about postage . Do you have to get a account with Royal Mail or something and they pick it up ? If not how is payment made ? Is it a real PITA ?
Thanks .

If it's less than 15kg then Hermes is a good place to start.
If you sell on eBay then you can do Royal Mail I think up to 25kg for about £12 using the links from the eBay sale page. This is way better than you can get from Royal Mail or parcel force as a regular customer.

Honestly can't remember for Royal Mail, but Hermes you need to print label on a piece of A4 and stick it on

If I'm on my 4 off from work I use my local library to print labels off. 10p.

For packaging go to Morrisons and get a banana box. They're often by the till and can take in excess of 20kg For postage prices try parcel2go, interparcel, p4d. Choose the service, print the label off and either leave outside to collect or hand to the courier. Watch out for buyers from NI, Scottish Highlands and offshore islands. Remember the Channel Islands aren't in the UK (even though a lot of people there seem to think they are) and couriers charge a lot more to deliver there Explain in your listing that delivery to those areas may cost more and to contact you before buying / bidding using the links from the eBay sale page Where do these links appear? On the item page after the item has sold? |
