Busdriver 6207 Posted June 16, 2021 I need to offload 3-5 cars but don’t generally do much postage stuff. What would be the average cost of UK postage by say Parcelforce be for a single car/buggy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2304 Posted June 16, 2021 Tracked / signed for 48 hour delivery by RM with an insurance value of £100 , a 2kg package medium parcel is £7.62 online , which I've used a lot . It all depends on the weight / size and value of said car / buggy - could cost less , could be more 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1834 Posted June 16, 2021 My advice is to box the buggy, get the weight and dimensions on the box then go to the website and find out. In the last two years, postage costs have skyrocketed and it’s going to cost way more than you estimate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoolHands 787 Posted June 17, 2021 Main problem in uk is insurance cost. So if you insure it properly if it’s say a 250£ car it ends up being 20-25 quid. If low insurance then price not too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy pants 4369 Posted June 17, 2021 I always fully insure as part of the postage cost, it’s in both parties best interest imo 👍 Costs a little more but whole lot less than a lost or damaged model. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperChamp82 743 Posted June 17, 2021 +1 re insurance cost being the issue in UK Which, if you think about it, speaks volumes about the quality of service … RM and DPD are the best / least likely to damage imo ParcelForce + Herpes are the worst Fedex by far the best internationally - just expensive 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
