Default cost of posting suspension/ exhaust.
is it worth paying postage on large/ heavy items such as full suspension or an exhaust ? I am trying to sell them local , but no success as yet. They arent new , and not worth much , so to post them to Mainland will cost a fair bit and i'm not sure if it would be counterproductive !

I sold an exhaust to a chap in Scotland once, it didn't cost that much to ship it if I remember correctly

A backbox is usually around £15. My ex had a set of springs and shocks delivered for around £15 too.

Suspension is really heavy, Would be cheaper to send via a pallet but as said a back box is normally around £15 for mainland uk

yes guys , i will be posting from Northern Ireland to mainland UK . Though i know they class the highlands with NI , i dont think its the same as posting from England to Scotland.

The Suspension weights loads , and the exhaust is long (just the backbox left)

have a look on www.interparcel.com mate.

To keep costs down you can send the suspension in 2 parcels, usually for under a tenner each. Last 4 shocks/springs I sent in the UK was £16 via ups, weighed 32kg!

the shocks with springs weigh alot , can hardly lift them. It looks like i will have to keep them in the shed until someone more local wants them !
