    ...seeing as the parts are Motor-related, just wondering on best way to ship motor parts TO the UK.

    I have 2 packages - 1x 3.5kg, 1 x 9.5kg, and, tbh, with a value of €150 on the parts, carriage is coming out at over 50% of them.............anyone got any recommendations for reasonable rates to the UK (London) ??

    TIA, as they say...........

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I'm pretty sure Fastways do a Uk service from here, there usually pretty reasonable pricewise...

    I used this lot when sending Brembos to England. At £14 it wasn't bad value :)

    +1 on deliver it, I've used them a few times in the past for car parts and they've been spot on. I'd recommend them to anyone.
