Good day
Trying to get a package of two carbs, separated to one single carb, sent from the UK.
Shipper claims one carb weighs over 2kg, and can not ship Royal Mail. As we live in a remote region, the normal couriers use a 3ed party. So one looses tracking, which I am not fond of. Also, because of Covid restrictions, I can not travel to my normal parcel box to collect.
Is a single dcoe over 2kg, and if so. How/what would the easiest way be to make three boxes or…? anyone think of anything.
I have asked for the trumpets to be removed, still over weight…ugh
Anyone know of a good way to split the carbs to 3 boxes.
Have called the 3ed carriers, but there is not way for tracking. They all say they deliver direct, but it goes to a carrier to here.
Suppose I can use a friend a ways away, simply would rather figure Royal-Canada!
Maybe different for Canada, but repeatedly in 2020 the best quotes and shipping times I’ve gotten (for multiple sizes and weights and in both directions) has been from transglobalexpress.co.uk. Pickup and delivery on the US side has been DHL. In addition to sender making arrangements, I’ve made arrangements as receiver for pickup in UK and delivery here, too. The latter was for a pair of DCOEs that arrived within 3 days of pickup, and if I remember correctly it was FedEx pickup on the UK side. The shipping document indicates 6kg for the pair, though I don’t remember if that was actual weight or one of our estimates.
I have used both ways to/from UK. Tracking, inexpensive, and only takes a few days.
Go online and create an account. You can easily check shipping costs . You need package dimensions and weight. Also pickup / delivery addresses. You can handle all customs paperwork online as well.
I shipped a large, heavy gearbox for $150. Here in a few days. Smaller items $20 or more.
I find the Royal Mail to have spotty service and taking much longer. Especially these days.
Thank you
It seems they just changed, just after Davos/Trump Covid claim.
Canada has always been about 2kg and under, or large items…Now they are not doing the larger Air items.
Maybe because of air travel being different now…not as many planes etc?
