Shipping a trans?

Tried relay thread and no response.
Has anyone got a recommendation for shipping a transmission ?
I can put it on a pallet if needed.

I had my engine shipped on a pallet from Dave B`s for £50 Miles

I will try and find out who I used

Thanks John, sounds like a good deal on that sort of weight.

Tried Interlink at St Stephens? IIRC they ship up to 300kg 3m x 3m.

Thanks John, costs so far have been prohibitive or uninsured. Maybe I should learn to build a transmission

This is getting stupid. £170 return. I can Bananarama! drive it to London and back for that. Jeez.
Last time I shipped a trans it was £30

How quickly do you need to get it to London Miles?

MilesnMiles · Post by **MilesnMiles** » Fri Jan 08, 16 12:47 pm

Not immediately Ivor, I need to get it to Antons garage. I've only just ordered parts from the US, so any tiem I the next couple of weeks or so.
You down this way at some point for a pint of Proper Job then

does seem a bit steep

I had a close ratio aussie RT charger one shipped from Oz for £200 or something ie. about 300-350 AUD at the time. UPS at this end. drop off at shippers near Airport at the other

YES that was air freight (box is like a small ford toploader...small but dense

packed the box with headers upper control arms 4 balljoints and pitman and idler as well. to get it up to maximum weight for the cost...pointless wasting shipping
