I had a similar experience, with a guy selling NOS focus mk1 headlamps. He wouldn't ship to NI, so I managed to get a friend of a friend to agree to go and collect them. Seller ghosted me. .......I’ve managed to push it right to Parcel Forces limits and can get 1 275 and 1 315 on the same consignment for £15.20. So 4 tyres under 2 separate orders for £30.40.
And now the eBay seller has gone quiet!
Wrapped them in bubble wrap, with the whole thing enclosed in cardboard, and shrinkwrapped the whole thing. It was around £60 with parcelforce for 4 wheels iirc. I'll see if I can find the emails here.Being asked to post a 19" wheel with tyre to Huddersfield - looked at Paisley and its £37.50 and ParcelForce which seems cheaper but I cannot find specific info on sending wheels
What did you do @Cookies?
