Title: Shipping rims from UK
Post by: Petrus on February 9, 2019, 14:39
Buenos caballeros,

I want to have a set of rims, 15 kilos, shipped from the UK to Spain.

Vendor states that Royal Mail is the only one who wants to ship and charges 195 PS.

Seems rather odd to me as from Germany or Poland it costs me 95 € máx. and with Hermes less.

Do you have any alterative experiences?

Many thanks,

There's ant number of companies who will do that.

Check DHL, DPD plus the many smaller couriers who do it.  (give 'parcel to Spain' a google.

Your Vendor is being lazy at your expense.

Send in pairs, via hermes or dpd etc, about £30 go on https://www.parcel2go.com/quotes?col=219&dest=33&mdd=0&p=1~7.5&quotetype=Default#/results

Thanks for the suggestions.

I fear you may be right Carolyn. Which raises the question if one would want to buy from such.

I do like the rims though, so will forward him the suggestions and cross fingers. If not, then Enkeis it will be.
