Need help getting alloys back from UK (Kent)

Voodoomelon

Hey folks.
Made the foolish mistake of shipping my wheels to the UK for super cheap, without checking to see how much to get them shipped back over.

Its coming in at x7 times more expensive to have them shipped back!

Anyone know anyone in the Kent (Gillingham) area that will be heading back to Ireland on Friday/Monday/Tuesday coming?

Or any courier company that I can avail of? Many of my suppliers ship to Ireland up to 25kg for £13, however this is only available to UK companies.

Thanks!

Get onto one of your suppliers and ask for a favour. Shouldnt be a big deal

Thanks for that guys!
€110 with Deliver It is the cheapest so far.
On to EFL in Dublin too, forgot to ask them for a quote.

Mr.David

I moved a truck load of stuff home from UK to Ireland with this crowd:

Found them very reasonable and reliable, no harm giving them a shout.

Bohrio

have you tried this place@

deliverme

You can ship your wheels there as a uk address and then ask them to ship it to you, not expensive up to 25kg i think

You shipping them with or without tyres? Think it's 80 if it's just the alloys

Voodoomelon

Aye, its with the tyres.

We bought a big satellite dish from england and they shipped it out to us on time for not that much (think it was circa £50)

Ok went with Paisley Freight, has anyone used them before? They were supposed to pick up the wheels today but the tracking has not been updated, is this normal?

George Dalton

I used them before with no problems. Can't remember how up to date the tracking info was to be honest.

Voodoomelon

Thanks. Do you remember how long they took to deliver? Could really do with the car at the weekend!

I've heard good things about these guys but never used them myself.

Schoolboy error there Voodoo!

Well Paisley were £70 in the end, not bad. Saved over a €100 in petrol the last week and a half anyways, I won't complain!

yeah, I used them, all good, the stuff will arrive thru' Target more than likely.

Voodoomelon

Again any idea on transit time? Assuming they were collected today, you reckon they could be here on Friday?

MidlandsM

yeah, probably

Couldn't tell you for sure but I order tyres for the T/A from the UK and last year during the snow I ordered a pair on a Tuesday evening and they landed Thursday afternoon.

Voodoomelon

Aye thanks, Camskill are normally about 2 days too, Target seem to offer a good service,

Voodoomelon

Woo hoo, tracking updated in the last hour, turns out they were picked up. Fingers crossed for Friday, the E38 is on boozerama duty down to Dublin on Saturday.
