Default Courier's that'll take a bonnet?
Anyone used a courier to take a bonnet before? If so, which company and how much did it set you back?

A couple of my mates break cars and send everything bar the engine and interiors with Interlink.

Ł15 is not too bad.

Whilst i'm asking, what sort of price is it to send a crate with a 2.0 engine and gearbox (FWD)?

They send their engines with a pallet company called Bomfields or possibly Bomfords and I think it costs Ł60.

Interparcel are trying to quote me Ł50 to send the bonnet. I guessed the weight at 25kg (off a pug 206)

Any what about sending bumpers? I can't find anyone that can send them, they are too long for courier websites to quote.

I've found parcel force will take the bonnet for Ł25 also.

Still can't find anyone that'll take the bumpers as they all say they are too big.

You'd need to pack a bonnet VERY carefully.
