Hello!

There is an interesting computer on eBay.co.uk, which cannot be found on German eBay. Unfortunately the seller does not provide delivery to Germany (no wonder why). He only provides free delivery within mainland England and Wales. Now I am looking for an logistic company who could send me this huge thing.

Here is some data about the computer:
Weight: 34 kilograms
Width: 25 centimetres
Depth: 62 centimetres
Height: 45 centimetres

As You can see, it is a really big thing what I to buy Confused

Now my question is: Which company can do such a delivery (with pickup in the UK) for an acceptable price?

I hope, someone can help me. Thank You very much Smile

Best regards, Xaar.

There is also www.parcel2go.com

3rd party shipping ( where you pay the courier to pick the item up from somewhere and bring it back to you) is not always straightforward. Some couriers seem ok at it, others not. I have never tried international 3rd party before. It should work.
