Got a guy in England looking to buy my wheels so trying to find the most economical way of sending them. A quick search says senditnow and send them as 2 packages. Each wheel and tyre weighs 16.7Kg so 33.4Kg for each package. So, is there a weight limit and will they lift something this weight?
Cheers

used them before, big 17x9.5" rims with fat paradas on it, they came to something silly like 17-18kg each and i put it through as 2 parcels of 30kg fine

I'd give him the option of 4 individual parcels and let him chose which to go for. You don't want to be responsible if Parcel Force turn awkward about the weight of 2.

I'd be paying the postage anyway Ian as I've agreed a delivered price with him

I've used senditnow for a gearbox in wooden crate that was way over 30kg (Near 50kg I believe), so I'd say you'll be fine. Also used them for a set of steel wheels and packaged them 2x2. No problem either.

30 kilos is the limit

I got two packages sent over, each was about 35 kilos but I just said each was 30 kilos when making out the details on the site, sure enough they arrived, no extra charges, maybe I was lucky.

As I've said before, they may or may not take it if its overweight. I sent some car parts I sold on ebay that came to 32kg, and the driver took them without a problem. The buyer contacted me a week later to say he hadn't received them yet, so after a call to the parcel force depot they told me that it was found to be overweight and had been held at the depot. Although nobody bothered to tell me and even said they had tried to return it and put a card through the door, which they hadn't.

I booked the courier to collect my rollbar for my mx5. The guy I was buying it off gave me the weight and dimensions.

Cheapest postage was £20 or so, so went with that. Got an email a while later with a £40 fine for sending overweight. I measured and weighed it and it was over what the seller had told me. Since they had all my details I paid it as it was fair enough, though I was told the wrong information.

Don't know if I would risk it now, pretty sure that was with ni-parcels

Got 4x 18 inch wheels and tyres from England last month in 4x parcels, cost £75 but I paid extra for the extra insurance, arrived nice and safe though in 3 days :grinning:

Ive been overweight with parcels on multiple occasions and never had any issues, on the other hand I had to repackage a couple of sets due to being 10/15kg overweight :p

seriously - ask him can he pick up from his local parcelforce depot. If he can select this depot to depot option on senditnow and its 6quid a package to 30kgs each.

Anyone ever chosen to get 4 wheels sent to a Post Office? It is an option on the website to get parcels sent to a PO, but I'm dubious about some aul doll having to handle 4 23kg wheels?!

you can get it delivered to the depot but the guy on the other end will have to drop off at a depot. cheap as chips too, 6 quid a package ish.

edit - stuck on repeat :p

I got stuff sent to a PO before and it was a pain, AND they charged me an extra 2 quid or something to release it.
