Q - it will be cheaper to send money to the recpient to go buy a new one.

EDIT -- why do pound signs keep getting converted to question marks???? Like this: ????

I have a similar question, for big items (eg I've a few bits of bikes to post out) will some couriers collect from your house?

Citylink i think are nationwide, and DHL do a domestic service. However, it would be so much cheaper to buy a new bed.

If you where on contract, then youd be looking at about £15, but as a private customer, id say somewhere in the region of £100+

You could alwyas try parcel farce..erm, force. Datapost 24/48 or something similar.

Bear. HTH ;)

Go on Quiff, you know you want to. :lol:

You'd have to prep it for transport, couriers pick up packages, not items. I was selling my water bed on ebay, until the winning bidder was insisting on collecting by courier. I pulled the auction in the end, it was going to be so much hassle for me to pack all the parts for transport.

I have used these before and the packages have been collect from my home

I've been using this site recently. Has been extremely reliable. In most cases its DHL that actually does the collection/delivery.

www.parcel2go.com (http://www.parcel2go.com)

p.s. go for the cheaper delivery option (2 to 4 days I think it is) as they nearly always deliver next day anyway.

One of my mates was kicked out of Uni when he was 20, he brought his worldly possessions back to Bedford from Manchester on the back of a Honda CB250RS single, all packed inside his new fridge which was tied with rope to the pillion seat and rack.
