Will be expensive via Royal Mail. Try other couriers, many of whom will pick up from you (so no queuing :))

Believe me James, courier is certainly the way to go.

Royal mail will be much more expensive and slower.

personally i use parcelforce ( basically royal mail)

Why - well i cant wait in all day for a courier and they are happy to pick the items up from the back of my garden. I also find the prices very resonable.  :y

Parcels 2 go and all the rest have told me they wont pick items up if no one is in  :(

Anyone know different?

I paid £12 postage for a V6 radiator I won on ebay, and that came through DHL.
