    I have a box with coffee tables. It only weighs 10.5kg (hence the return...crap quality).
    However, it’s dimensions are 80x60x80cm
    I cannot get a reasonable quote online to return this box as it’s too big.
    Anyone any advice please?

    Thanks for suggestions. Parceldirect just quoted me €370+VAT for standard shipping.
    Think I’ll end up keeping my horrible cheap looking nest of tables and learn a hard lesson not to order furniture online again

    It seems to be the size of the box that is the problem, the weight is fine.
    Even asked a courier that called to house today, he said he regularly collects boxes that size. Checked all of the above and majority won’t even quote!
    Hate those coffee tables even more now

    Fairly bulky one, maybe try a pallet network rather than a courier
