Hi guys as it says really, need a bmx picked up in Cornwall or any ideas on couriers. Never done this before but bid before thinking

How does the courier thing work,, do I arrange for them to pick up at certain time or what??

cheers for any help in advance Graham

It's straight forward enough - you tell the company how much you think it weighs boxed and a general idea of size. They will give you day of collection (find out from the buyer whens best). 15 to 20kg is the weight I normally go for, insurance in optional but always best. You can do all this on line, they like a contact number from the collection and delivery address as this helps.

I think if I remember right there is an option for the driver to sort the labels too.. Or email them to the seller and ask him to print and attach them.

Parcel Force tend to charge the most mate..

Never mind will have to sort a courier then don't think they'd wait that long,cheers though

Hey dubber would still love that Piranha can't believe you still got it

Been looking a while for a Murray, nearly bought one of these a few months back but missed it so went for this without considering pick up only from Cornwall, don't think I can swing that far out of my way with work

Could really do with someone picking this up for me, any chance anyone

cheers Graham

cant you ask them to box it up for you.if they can,use interparcel to get it picked up for you.go on their website,its straight forward.shouldnt cost no more than £9 if you play it right

oldschoolfool · « **Reply #15 on:** April 05, 2011, 10:32 AM »

ive been in this situation before.if your desperate ,send me petrol money an i'll pick it up for you.i live in plymouth so a trip down to helston wont be bad.i can then box it up for you so you can arrange for a courier to collect off me.

if you like.
