Hi,

I have situation, that my courier can't pick up 4 rims that are based at: 3 Woodland Terrace, New Tredegar, NP24 6LL, maybe someone of you live near and or drive through there sometime and could pick them up and take them nearer to midland to your own house where the courier could pick them up.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Have you tried Shipley Jack ?, they are good

Could you tell me more about it? Don't know what it is really.

Shiply is a bidding site for hauliers and couriers.
Joe blogs puts a ad up saying he's got an item to go from A to B and then the hauliers bid on it to try and get the job.
I registered with them when they first came out but didn't get any work from them, due to others under cutting my quote which leads me to think that some people (not all) are running a bit below the radar. I do dedicated car and trailer transport with an O licence and on tacho. There's no way I can run with some of the prices others quote.
You could get a good deal but just be careful buddy.

Hope that's of help👍

Just google shipley transport and fill in their form ie, what the item is and postcode from then postcode to. When you are done it is aknowledged and you start recieving quote's.
Give it a try, i did and moved a car for less than fuel and trailer costs. they have people dropping off and picking up all over the country all the time

Ok, but probably the main problem is that I don't have an address in England to ship it somewhere closer to Midlands. :/

Paisly freight will pick up and deliver 4 wheels with tyres up 18" anywhere within mainland UK for 30 quid.

Where are you situated Jack ?
My car was picked up by a guy who was on his way back from delivering a car to Monaco, so they would be able to accomodate you i am sure mate. Must be worth a try, if you are not happy with the quotes then you don't use them, easy as that

where in the Midlands do you want them shipped to?

Anywhere in the midlands by the sound of it!

Paisley freight them to anywhere in the midlands, £27.99 for four wheels without tyres, then get them exported from there/anywhere in the midlands. I think jack is from latvia.

Used paisley freight today, they pick up next day, dead simple service to book.
