Yellow coop would like to buy the rocker cover from my coupe. But I haven't a clue how much postage will be. Does anyone know?

Thanks

Matt

If it's sent with parcel force then it'll cost you no more then £15 Matt.

If it's sent with Parcelforce you can wave goodbye to it.

As sprintsteve says.

I use these guys , one of a growing band of cut price booking agents for DHL. You should be able to send your rocker cover next day for £8. Great service all done online.

Send it royal mail standard parcels in a big box with pleny of scrunched up newspaper. Cheaper than all of the above, never had one go missing so far and you can get proof of posing as well.

Standard parcels takes 3-5 working days. You wont be far short of £8 either with the weight of a rocker cover.

Proof of posting is also worth exactly jack.

Much better to entrust the job to the professionals. wink

I would say it's well over 55cm TD, I had mine in my hands last night. I'd guesstimate at least 60cm
