Courier of a large motorcycle engine from the UK to Spain

Postby olive » Sat Oct 20, 2007 7:23 pm

Has anyone any suggestions or experience for how to get a large object like a motorcycle engine from the Midlands to Spain please?

It isn't in pristine cleanliness but shouldn't leak fluids but knowing my luck it probably would!

It isn't urgent.

Would a company like UPS touch it? Presumably I would have to collect from one of their depots as I remember previously people having problems with campo addresses.

Hi Olive,
I've used the following link to get car parts from UK, boxed them up ,weight and size and picked a service.

http://www.interparcel.com/services.php

I've had UPS deliver bike frames (boxed) as well ,they have been the only company that have delivered to my door out in the Campo.

Regards

Hi there Robperrie

Just for information, thank you for your phone call today, as discussed we did receive a email from your mother and did reply. We have emailed you the original email and reply, inc dates and times.

We have also returned your phone call today and you were out cycling. :) Many thanks for letting us know you will be deleting your postings, regarding non comunication, we really are sorry that you thought we were ignoring you, but it seems as though a email has gone astray, although we have it confirmed that it was sent.

We will ring you again within the hour.
Many thanks, again I will ring again you shortly

All the best

Kelly x
