Hi Guys,

Not quite sure where to post this so apologies if perhaps not in the right 'area'.

I've got to arrange 4 x alloy wheels to be collected from North England down to Surrey and was just wondering if anyone can recommend any particular couriers or has had any bad experiences of companies I should avoid...?

Looking at this company:

http://www.wheelcourier.com/index.html

Has anyone used them before? I'm slightly worried about using a courier company but it will be cheaper/easier than me taking a day out to drive ooop north and back again...

Many thanks

JT

There is a company on fleabay that do this from £16.95 a wheel IIRC.... think size may drive £

If you cannot find it let me know and I'll find it for you....

Just checked anyway - looks like the same people

Hi Maw......yes think we're talking about the same firm but thanks anyway!

Take it you haven't used them then......?

No sorry just aware of them from ebay - always (twice) fetched my own ...... but if they are well insured and you can be certain of the condition on collection you'll be ok - new or used??

JT, did you use that company? How did it work out?

Thanks

reidnul, I used City Sprint in the end who probably weren't the cheapest but they were more flexible with collection times than the other companies that I spoke to.

Did you look over on our sister website Disco3.co.uk - they have a members courier service forum where members who are travelling the length and breadth of the country "courier" bits and pieces for other members. If I had seen this thread a couple of weeks ago I would have offered as I am driving from Scotland to London this week in an otherwise empty RRS.............................

Aaaggh! Tim, no didn't know about that but thanks for the heads up and will check it out next time or if I'm in a position to help out.

I was impatient to get the 20"s anyway as Guava swapped them over with the 19"s FOC when it was in for it's recent service.

The 19"s finally got collected this weekend after my first ebay sale, much to my wife's delight....!

Thanks for the offer anyway.

We won't mention the fact that my wife has already kerbed two of my nice new 20" V spoke alloys.

I think she's still upset that we sold her Mini Convertible a year or so ago.....
