Getting an alloy from Armagh to Cork

Any idea lads? Do the courier companies do this for a reasonable price? Phoned DPD but she didn't know what she was on about really.

Is this for the GTD? I understand Parcel Motel offer a service for items deemed too big or heavy, they can deliver to your home for an additional fee.

Yeah, had a kerbing incident already, getting fixed but wouldn't mind having a backup. Thanks for the advice

You can also collect at the depot if overweight. I collected an alloy/tyre today with no problems

Couriers are reasonable. If you have to use DPD ask the seller to organise a pick up as its cheaper and the lads in the Portadown depot are usually careful with merchandise, until it transfers to another depot....

I did the same on my new golf. As a matter of interest who did you buy the alloy from? Also who did you get to carry out the repair? I'm using Leo Whelan seems to come highly recommended.

I got a price from Blackwater for a new alloy....looking for €560 + VAT and no tire with that either. Certainly not paying that much.

The GTD diamond cut ones are 750+ vat. Horrific. Only a few people can do the diamond cutting nobody in cork so I'm trying a guy in dublin. That wheel in the north was actually cracked before so i'll leave it. Theres one on eBay UK I can get if the refurb doesn't go well.

I use wiseloads.com when sending anything big, 12 quid delivered, they use dpd to do the work.
