That'll be the one from Hartlepool you just outbid me on this morning. (I work in Hartlepool and that's where my spray guy is).

Fair's fair, I think you got a good buy.

 

[keaney]

Yup that will be the 1,i hope i can sort out the postage,6 hour drive from cardiff otherwise lol an your right i was well happy with £227

If it's any help, it only cost me £40 to have front and rear seats couriered to me from the Lake district - can't see it being more than that as it's not heavier, size will be the deciding factor i think.

 

[DPJ]

A lot of the parcels firms work on volumised weight. (A large light item takes up the space an average heavy item would). If you look at somewhere like http://www.parceluk.co.uk/

put in a 10kg weight for the bumper and then the dimensions - and it converts to 60kg. (So cost you about £40.00)

I don't know why I'm helping you I'd have been happy with my £222 bid.

If you got rear-ended you wouldn't be able to sit down for ages. I could have your front and back bumpers!

Now there is a fella with some serious issues!

Back on topic

I had a SEAT dealer post me some body part (bumpers, skirts etc), half of what turned up was damaged. Fortunately as it was direct from a SEAT dealer, he arranged for my local dealer to exchange the damaged parts at no cost to me.

Based on that experience i'd never have large, easily deformed/damged items sent by any courier; certainly not if i'd have to swallow the loss.

That's why they offer postal insurance.
