Any ideas what courier companies will take an Omega bumper. Tried a few and they restrict the length to either 1500mm or 1600mm and Omega`s are just over the 1700mm mark :question
-
not sure i'd trust a courier with a bumper, easily cracked and you going to need a lot of packaging to make sure its ok.
I did use these people once I think, I did put your measurements in, it accepted them, but at scary delivery price :o

Personally I would wrap it up and send it with your normal courier and not mention its slightly bigger Rob. I can't imagine them measuring every item they post .... It has worked for me ;)

Got an account with them. Gave then a ring, car bumpers are on their "prohibited" list :-?

Normal courier won`t accept car bumpers Daz >:(

Attach the bumper to a car and then drive the car to where you want the bumper to be and then take it off and drive the car back without a bumper.
Hope this helps.

You have to specify what is in the parcel for damage cover insurance

Yep, looked at them James. £20 if it`s 1600mm then another £15 on top for an extra 200mm :o

Rob,
I've used G-Force. Though they're not cheap these days, cost me £40 for a next day delivery service.
They do require the measurements the package once it's wrapped and a weight of it to be accurate in pricing.

Wrap it up and label it 'Car Parts', they don't measure every package!! What could possibly go wrong?? ;)

Brikhead must know - he sent me one last year.
I didn't keep the packaging...
