shipping an interior abroad
Turbo Mini Forums

hi, i am going to list a set of seat on ebay in the near future

i am guessing there is going to be a lot of interest from europe

has anyone any experiance of shipping such a large/heavy item abroad?

i would be using parcelforce, with a signature.

i have no idea on costs etc. will get on parcelfore website, just wanted to know if anyone had first hand experience of this

many thanks

I just shipped a gearbox to Denmark. Use www.parcel2go.com.

Dead easy and not as expensive as you might think. The gearbox at 30KG cost about £15 and was delivered in 48 hours

The physical size of the interior might be an issue with the cheapy couriers.

Is it like a full interior, or bits ?

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

that was my concern. i have tired parcels to go and the size/weight is too great.

it would be x2 front seats and a rear bench.

parcelforce comes up with something like 400 quid to europe which is not helpful!

Just by a little economical with your measurements, they won't measure it when they pick it up.

Also, could you send it as two shipments? A front seat and a part of the rear bench in each. The front seat could be fully reclined and it shouldn't be too bad.

yea, i like your style. i did consider sending as multiple consinments. the seats arent light though!

i will measure up properly later on and have another go. cheers

Sending as individual parts might be best option. Or else getting them onto a pallet and contacting pallet type people.

i did consider sending them individually.

pallet people is an idea. its a lot of hassle. though the buyer seem to be in europe at the moment. thanks for the input
