Im trying to get a courier for a box measuring 120 cm x 60cm x 30 cm, Destination highlands and islands!
Parceltogo say it's too long for any service and parcel force want £39 so too dear!
Any suggestions ladies and gents?

The problem is the size, not the weight. £39 doesn't expensive for that tbh. Same as a set of wheels.
Tried Paisley freight?

I know it doesn't seem too bad but it makes the contents of the box quite expensive in total!

Afraid not Cully, its a pair of 3 door door cards, so length is what it is, I could possibly lose the box and shrink wrap with a bit of bubble wrap to protect them but, I still don't think it will dip under a meter

Parcel hero just took a 50" tv to Lancs for just 14£, always use them and their default courier is UPS so quite reassuring

Parcelhero is coming in at £20 so maybe a winner there!
I tried inter parcel earlier today and either it was stoopid expensive or parcel too big, can't remember, quoted a few today! But cheers everyone for all the replies!
