Need help shipping an item from the UK
Hi Guys,
I have bought a LR grill on the fleabay in the UK and my shipping service wants to charge me GBP140 to ship the thing to South Africa which is absolute madness.
Would anyone be willing to help me? Ill have the parcel shipped to you and then you ship it to me with Royal mail or a cheaper option?

£80 is a whole lot cheaper than £140. Would that be courier or economy mail?Disco 4 SDV6 HSE with Compomotives, BFG 265/65R18s, BigCountry drawer system, Melvill & Moon covers, NL 52L fridge, FR Spare Wheel Carrier, FR Roof Rack, Tenco RTT, FR 50" LED Bar, dual spots, Lift Rods, Mantec Snorkel, C-TEK Dual batt system, 270 Ostrichwing, Maxtrax, Icom ID-5100, Icom ID-51 as secondary, IIDtool BT

Try bigdave, I think a grill is going to be too big to go via Royal Mail.

It was great to meet up with you rob, and discuss off roading stuff. You have a great looking car. You have giving me some great ideas. Hope the grill is undamaged when you unpack it.
