    DPD have told me that they won't handle laptops. Anyone got any other suggestions?

    VIP Van is an excellent man with a van service. He will go to most counties but it'll probably cost you a couple of hundred at a guess.

    Sounds like a complete rip off for a laptop.

    That was just a wild guess considering he'd be driving from Dublin to Roscommon and back. You won't find out until you ring for a quote i suppose.

    It's not a couple of hundred for a laptop though. It's a guesstimate for collecting a product and delivering it direct (not a hub where its thrown around) door to door Dublin to Roscommon, and insuring it on it's journey. Similar to a taxi.

    If you had correct courier insurance, how much would you charge for the guts of a days work, income tax, vehicle insurance, wear and tear, road tax, etc?

    It may be expensive, but not so much a rip off!!!
