Title: best way of posting an awkward item
Post by: mystical_goat on Friday, October 13, 2017, 18:16:33
I've just sold an engine strut from my car on eBay. It is about 2 metres wide and weighs a good amount, anyone know the best (cheapest) way to send it please? I'm not sure if I'm best going to the post office or doing it some other way.

Wrap it up in bubble wrap and use the Royal Mail, I send out boxed computers and they can be a lot cheaper than you think for bulky large items.

Length will be an issue with most  :)
Parcelforce 48 is your best bet, sent two strut braces using them myself. Will be about £11.

yeah I usually pay about £11 for a boxed PC on a 48 hour service.

I thought this was going to be about posting an awkward topic on the forum. I'm mildly disappointed

Thanks for the help guys, will lug it down to the PO this morning.
