I just sent an item use Parcel to go which found a sevice called something like: MyHermes drop off at a local shop.

Basically, you submit the sizes, weigh and insurance value and print the label and drop them off at the designated local shop and they collect from there.

Seats are large, there is a limit on size.

Over the last 2 years iv used parcel2go about 40-50 times - i tried myhermes or whatever its called for about 5 things and they lost 3 out the 5.

using dhl/yodel for the rest of the items went alot better

Conversely, Yodel, I think it was, claimed to have tried to deliver here several times for one parcel over the span of a week. They didn't though as I was in a listening for them of two of the days. And during that time I had one or two other deliveries that got here first attempt.

I used Parcel to Go and that came up with MyHermes as being the cheapest for this item I just sent. It's tracked and there is a web page showing it's progress.

DPD is my favourite for receiving deliveries, they call when they say they will and send an email earlier in the day to say what hour time slot they'll be here.

I always use parcel2go and that will bring up the main courier. Check their terms an conditions as each courier has different limits on cubic capacity and weight. I think you may struggle with the seats unless you can take the base off so the all lay flat.

You could try Paisley Freight, they do a pallet service and know a few people that have sent sets of 4 wheels with them
