The Dogmother Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Try looking for your local branch of APC couriers, we use them at work and they're very competitive, but it's best to get a couple of quotes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Try this lot - http://www.paysend.co.uk Or Royal Mail parcel Force. You will need the general dimensions of the box the Eglu is in (it will need to be packed),plus the weight. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 When I sent the flowery eglu down to Kaz we asked Omlet which carrier they used and used the same one ourselves. It arrived safely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I quick price from parcelforce for 50kg is £43!!! Have you found a second-hand one then? MkI or II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furball Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 I am watching 2 eglus on ebay. One i can pick up in Manchester but the other one is in London, that's the one i wanted courier for.OH has agreed to me having one. He said i would get one anyway no matter what he said.( he knows me) and we are going to look at an eglu local to us on Saturdauy morning. OH coming too . Got about £180 already but dont think i will get a second hand one for that .I have already chosen which chooks i want and read up about them as much as i can but no point looking for chooks yet as the eglu i get might alredy come with chooks .I definately want a frizzle bantam though, wondered if anyone on here has any and ould tell me if they would be suitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 If you go into the ebay community discusion pages and find the payment and postage board there is a thread by yorkie pinned to the top of that with a list of couriers on. The problem you are going to have is that you need to make sure that your seller is happy to wait around for a courier as they don't specify collection times and also it will need to be packaged. Worth checking out that thread though. The p&p board is the other place I am always to be found. I have learnt so much on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
