I used these guys twice. First time I took a set of wheels to his house as it was just along the road from me and all went well.
Second time I arranged an uplift which didn't happen (twice) and any time I chased it up I was advised to raise a dispute with Paypal. Then, against all the odds, the courier company arrived to collect with no explanation.

Prior to trying the local company, I used http://www.parcel2go.com/. Marginally more expensive, but never had any problems.......... Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Any time I've sent more than 1 wheel, I just measure length, breadth and height as if the wheel was in a box. multiply that by the number of wheels and pump those number into the web page and out pops a price! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I've just sold a set of RRS Stormers and the buyer is using a company called The Wheel Courier to get them from Stirling to the Wirral. The carriage instruction say they will collect any wheel up to 35kgs................ I suspect 1 x20"RRS Stormer c/w tyre is a bit more but hey, not my problem! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
