kbond Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 As above looking at prices to courier a gearbox and driveshaftsHave anyone else sent one before and who did you use?Ive seen paisleyfreight is £30 but thats up to 40kg and not sure if it would be over that?

daniel_g Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I booked my gearbox to be picked up by paisley freight, yeah 30 quid. Not gonna be over 40kgs but no insurance unless total loss i think.Mine was supposed to be getting picked up yesterday, tracking says N/A and no emails or calls from them.....Price, cheapService, erm i'll wait and see. Second time theyve been late collecting something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dean@mainzcarcare Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What size, weight you looking at, happy to try and help if I can (have an account with a number of couriers) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I used paisley freight to send some wheels and a front bumper and my brother recently used them to send a seat. Service was great both times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Right, so the bloke sent me the dimensions and weight The gearbox is 24inchx24inchx14inch and weighs 44kg, The box with the shafts and the rest of the bits is 24inchx18inchx9inch and weighs 13kgs. Or if its easier may be able to put them on a palletWas alot heavier than i thought!All helps much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 My old box weighted 32kgs with all the brackets etc still attached. I weighed it on a calibrated set of scales at work :/Has he taken the cups out and drained the oil out?Also now youve got the diamentions most sites have a quote by size and weight form you can fill out to get quotes anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 i sent mine like 2 weeks ago via paisley frieght put it down as 32kgs as morgey had said and was like 30bucks if i recall to be honest doubt it was close to 32kgs with no brackets or anything on it as it was pretty light when i lifted it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Mine was a c52 for 4A but the only difference is the bell housing so it would have been close to it. I think they seem quite light because they're fair compact and easy to lift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
