Tink Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thought this might be of use to some of you if considering buying from ebay.... I recently saw a bargain on buy it now but it would have been an 8 hour round trip to pick it up. I found http://www.shiply.com. Great website - You put the details of the delivery needed on and couriers bid to get the work. I used a fantastic company called pronto and had the eglu delivered from London to Leeds for £46 (most other websites had quoted between £100-£200) within 2 days. Would highly recommend them if anyone needs anything delivering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyhen Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I`ve recently used that site as well to have a bookcase couriered from Glasgow to Leicestershire. The bid we went for wasn`t the cheapest at £46 but they had excellent feedback and were really good, kept us informed about the collection and delivery times and delivered the bookcase safely.

bellekatz Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 There was a thread about this a while ago viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36935&hilit=cube+weight The cube is 80-kg and the standard run adds about 25kg i think Each extension is then 10kg. Sorry - dont know about an eglu but you could give them a ring and ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutti Frutti Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 does any one know the weight of the eglu and run My Eglu was delivered from Omlet a couple of weeks ago. From memory, the delivery note said the Eglu was 35kg and the Run 20kg. Stand to be corrected, though... I'll see if I can find the delivery note to confirm!

veggiemad Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hi everyone. A few of us have used this man with a van - Jake, 07885 731471. He charges £39.99 flat rate to collect and deliver to most postcodes south of nottingham. He's been really reliable with me, I've had one eglu delivered and come extensions collected (also a sofa from southampton!!), all times- very professional and i thought very cheap- i couldnt have driven anywhere for that- what with the price of petrol!! now you can have that far away cube!!

KateH Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just wondering, those who used the original posters courier, did the seller have to pack up the eglu at all e.g. wrap it in anything or did they pick it up with the run as is? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
