Help sending a large combo from UK to Slovenia

[Beedster]

Hi folks, anyone done the above, the usual UK couriers as showing 'No Services Available'. A BC'er there would like to buy my Mesa Carbine combo but I suspect it's going to prove problematic? Thanks. Chris

Did you try EuroSender, Chris?

 

Unless they stopped doing this from the U.K. since the official Brexit...

 

To ship outside EEC, I use TNT Express or UPS, so it should work the other way round...

Eurosender website not letting me past send address so I'm guessing they don't go there

Be warned... They only find you a price with a courier, if anything goes wrong you are completely on your own. Eurosender don't give a sh!t, their terms and conditions basically say "cry me a river, sucker!" and the courier finds it difficult to help you because they don't know you from Adam, their contract is with Eurosender, who won't do sh!t to help.

I could get a quote for 25kg parcel based on a roughly packed M6 from parcel2go, or at least prices, I couldn't continue through teh booking process as I didn't have exact parcel size and, DPD was about £55

I was reminded of the pain the last time I tried to use them when I tried again today, and gave up, their website doesn't make things easy

Thanks Aiden, I'll check them out now 👍

I get this or similar with every courier when I enter 30kg package UK-Slovenia (and yes, I know it's significantly more than 30kgs)

But I finally got the Eurosender website to work and a competitive quote 🤔

You’d be better off looking for pallet delivery. 
 

No man with a van courier will want to touch it and it’s too heavy anyways.

Try this company.   

 

When I visited,  they had an 8 foot tall 6 foot wide antique display cabinet, with glass panels, ready to be packed up and sent to the USA. 

 

And some paintings from some London auction houses, to be sent to the buyers, in Paris. These were already boxed, in custom made wooden crates.   No idea what was in there, but it was 6 feet high and 10 feet wide and a foot deep. 

 

They offered to pack up my Arcam Alpha 9 amplifier too - in the end I just purchased two boxes from them. 

 

So, worth trying, I would say.
