    I may have to get some wheels from oooop North (Newcastle way).

    Anyone know a good, cheap, reliable (if you can get one that is all 3) courier than could bring them down to me ? How much do you reckon I would be looking at ?

    Nah, P2G pick up 2 parcels per order, unless they've changed it since I last used it for wheels. Even if it is 4 packages, that still only makes it about £35 for all 4 wheels. Ian if they're small/light wheels (i.e. ones for the Corolla) get the seller to bind them together in twos, as long as they're sub 20kg per package P2G will take them.

    One tip - pay extra for insurance if they're expensive wheels or you'd be crushed if you lost them, I've had a few shipments go missing using Drop it Hide it Lose it.

    UK Courier Services, Express Parcel Delivery & International Shipping

    Could also try Down for Maintenance : PostMeHappy.com - Discount UK express parcel delivery courier and International parcel delivery service - they use Parcel Farce, bit more expensive but they take up to 30kg per shipment.

    Edit: My bad, P2G no loner pick up 2 parcels per shipment - its still just over £6 per package though...
