After getting a record 80miles out of the sxv before it needed an engine rebuild i tried to send it using DHL...i came back returned with a note stuck to it saying it "smelled of fumes" which it didnt as it was in my kitchen for 2 days waiting to be collected...some fucking jobsworth opened it (sealed in a bag, drained of all fluids) and wrapped in clean washed towels to cushion it and on top of all of that sealed in a watertight box. Cunts. So the question, anyone used a carrier to successfully send an engine? Cheers
There are various commercial vendors, Breakers, on Ebay that sell engines and offer delivery. Perhaps call one pretending to interested in a particular engine, ask a couple of random questions about it then ask who they would ship it with. .
Cheers sir...great idea. Ebay seller recommended me to the "Pallet Network" which in Bristol was "Hills Delivery" called them only thing is it has to go on a pallet. The bloke on the end of the phone said "just drop the box down to us and we'll put it on a pallet" - next day delivery and a tenner cheaper than DHL. Many thanks.
Just reporting back......on its way (hopefully this time) cost more but fully insured....90 quid (insured for 3k) All good.
