Wheel courier price
Any idea of an approximate cost to ship a pair of 13 inch wheels and tyres from mainland Welsh address to mainland England address?
Any recommendations on the courier to use?

Just make sure you cover them with something - even bin bags or thick cling film.
I've had couriers refuse to take wheels (with tyres on) if any tyre showing through - no refund  Had to get them covered up properly then
book (and pay) again.

Make sure you put them on a piece of wood to protect the bottom one and a 'this way up' sticker - I sent a set to be powder coated and the
muppet courier turned one pair upside down and dragged them across the chequerplate floor of his van and really messed up the spokes.

Or put them spoke to spoke and put a disc of thick cardboard between the spokes. Or thick discs of cardboard on the outside as well.

Try parcelmonkey.co.uk I've found them very good for big stuff
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

I've used a courier from South Wales quite a few times recently - Colin (can't remember his surname) - 07939098804. He used to do a bit of
rallying so understands how to look after car bits! And he's very reliable with fair prices. If you contact him tell him Wyn from Cynheidre
(Kin-high-dru) gave you the number.

You could try www.anyvan.co.uk - works like an auction site where you post details of the package, etc, and delivery companies place a bid to do the
delivery.
Finally back on the job!
