swiftkid 1 Posted July 16, 2009 Right guys, think i might have sold my engine but the guy is over 4 hours away so it needs to be sent on a palette. anyone got any idea how i can send the engine and who with, its the r32 engine so it isn't exactly light, took 3 people to lift so reckon it may cost a fair bit. Any help as to the procedure for sending would be good, thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted July 16, 2009 Ill have to have a measure up after work, but its an audi v6 engine so i think it is something like 170kgs, the size of the engine as an estimate would be about 800mm x 800mm x 1000mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted July 17, 2009 APC don't do pallets and id prefer to not use an ebay seller to send my engine. tried dhl and they want £102, anybody know any other places to try? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millerman 0 Posted July 17, 2009 i will have a look at some prices as soon as i get in but dhl look pretty good at £102 is that all in fuel and vat??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted July 17, 2009 thats including vat and they didn't say anything about fuel so i would assume thats included Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
