Obviously, like I did when fetching the Astro van, fetching in person is one way. However, I want to buy a plastic bumper in Scunthorpe, 200 miles from here. Not driving up there to collect a £35.00 item. And I do not know anyone doing a run in something that could fit it inside or on top of a vehicle for me. What service would or do you guys/girls use for shipping large, light items? Like this.  And yes, thats clearly the sellers home. |

All the couriers work on volumetric sizing, you need to measure the bumper as if it were in a box, length-width-height, most couriers don't like it if its not boxed, you can try Parcelforce on line for a quote or someone like Interparcel but its not going to be cheap whatever

MK5 golf bumpers are available in any town or city in the country. They'll be something nearer to you. Even if its dearer than 35 quid its better than the extra hassle of having to organise a courier that will more than likely bend the hell out of it anyway.

It is just to illustrate size for those with no idea. Trust me, I have not found anything I need locally in Kent. |

I’ve always seen that couriers work ok but also i think keep in mind the money because usually the numbers rack up very quickly. In my experience shipping things to buyers i’ve always tried to make the time in transport as low as possible as sometimes some stupid handling makes all the difference. I’m not sure what to recommend but look around for some good companies. Paying £20 for some mailing might be a little steep for a £35 item but it could make the difference between wasting the £35 if you know what i mean. Good luck mate.

If you do courier it check that the courier service takes bumpers, I once tried to send a metal bumper off a car and it accepted the order and then instantly refunded it as the didn't accept bumpers.
Clearly they were thinking of plastic bumpers rather than the solid metal one I was trying to send but the word bumper when I filled out the forms on-line tripped something but not well enough to stop me paying and then being refunded.
