it was a lot less than that box I just sent you and that went for £11.50, Royal mail would do it for half of that I'm sure Wink

true, but it may be cheaper to send them in two parcels with Royal Mail.

TBH the differance will only be a quid or so and for the convieniance of a courier picking the wheels up from the house thats worth it alone Wink
