    How can I post a bumper ?

    OK sold a bumper, packed it up, my mate arranged a courier, courier took it, then returned it as they can't carry bumpers. Just went to Interparcel & it's on their prohibited list, my mate reckons parcel2go are the same, WTF is so bad about sending a car bumper ?
    Anyone got any ideas ?

    Cut it into loads of pieces, and send it as a jigsaw.

    Re: How can I post a bumper ?

    its a real pain to ship any large parts nowadays, couriers dont want to know because the lorries that transfer parcels between depots are set up to take cages so that they can be loaded and unloaded very quickly, problem is bumpers dont fit into the cages easily and take up a lot of space, couriers want small heavy items as this is where they make good money,
    i have changed courier twice in the last year due to the last 2 couriers deciding our products are more trouble than they are worth
