Hi Mate

Try this crowd, I found them excellent and their prices are about as good as you will get.

As said above interparcel are good.

Forget royal mail.....they wont deliver a rod...its too long for them!!!:hammer::hammer::hammer:

 

Yeah, bit worried about that now actually. Their UK prices are great but it's quoting £50 to send it to Germany?! Seems a lot for a 3.5kg parcel, no matter how long it is.

 

I have personally used both of these recently

www.wedelivertheworld.co.uk
&
www.parcel2go.com

I can vouch that they are both good, just depends where you are sending too.

 

Yeah the later one's coming in at £35 (with the VAT added). Still seems a lot but it's the best yet. Thanks man.

 

It's the volumetric pricing that pushes it up.:showoff:

Don't forget to insure it hmy: as the standard rates might not cover it.

Just sent a parcel to the Slovak Republic (195cm x 18cm tube) insured for £1000 - 72hrs door to door using wedelivertheworld for £56 :victory:

 

I suppose we are sending pretty big stuff into different countries. It's on fleatray that I'm selling the rods anyway so I'll have to leave it with the buyer to select what he/she wants.

 

why dont you just do the sensible thing and check the price to ship into other countrys before you stick the ad up?

 

sent a rod last year to italy with interparcel cost £32 .

Well, being the inexperienced seller that I am (er, that's sarcasm if you didn't know) I actually stipulated that I would not send internationally due to countless problems with items in the past. I've been contacted by someone that's bought from me before, multiple times, though so I'm making the exception.

Thanks for your advice though (more of that stuff like above by the way). :kissing:

 

No matter how you try to advise non-UK bidders that they should request a quote before bidding, you'll still get some numpty who doesn't bother reading that bit.

I recently sold a Bullworker to Puerto Rico and the shipping cost came out at £42

well if you know so much....why ask us mere mortals on here?

You're right.

It appears, to you perhaps at least, that I should have known better doesn't it?


Thank you for all the other mere mortals for their valuable input. I shall not waste your time again in the future.

 

well you kind of answered your own question twice in two posts there:crazy:

tbh i think iv done a bit to help and encourage you on this forum and by p.m with tips and advice so you know what you can do with that dont you from now on dont you?

 

interparcel.co.uk were good.

I ordered them to be collected today. I was on the net last night and they sorted it out and now they're off. Cost about £15 but they're fully insured as well. Not bad seeing I only booked it last night hey?

I'll be using them again I think. They're an agent for loads of people from what I can gather, it was UPS that's going to be doing the delivering so I know they'll be ok.

 

From what I can remember you can only use them if you have an account for long items, is that correct?

 

Ive just used them too. Very good am impressed

I didn't have any problems mate. I was sure to give them the exact measurements (4kg, 180x15x15cm) as well as I didn't want the guy to be stood on the doorstep saying "I'm afraid we don't take items of this size".

I was expecting it to be a lot more hassle. The only hassle, of course, is waiting around all day for the dude to arrive.

no m8 you dont have to have an account for long items i have used them for a while now trouble free.

 

Speak nicely to a large tackle dealer who might sell you a couple of the tubes they use to send rods to their customers. Had a cracker sent to me today going to cut some holes in it, buckle up the ends and use it for carrying a few rods at a time to marks. Got another rod coming next few weeks which will leave me with spare one if you still need it.

Yeah good plan. I'm thinking of bodging some plastic tubing together and making myself a roof rack rod holder. Commercial drain pipe, double-sided sticky tape, some scissors, pipe cleaner and a whole lot of attention to detail should see me through it.

Maybe I can get it on the Gallery and Tony Hart can talk about it a bit.

He's dead now isn't he? It's a little late, sorry.

(Night).

 

good I'll use them next time I flog a rod
