Hes picked up a couple of items from me and hes a lovely guy. Turned up without any shoes on the other day lol does a good job, everything has been delivered in perfect condition and always gives you a call to check you are in or to let you know what time he will arrive.
Top guy.

I've given Steve a job, taking a turntable to Shropshire next week...has anyone got something to go up North or return down South to make it worth his while? C'mon, door to door, this service needs to be kept alive...I mean, what forum has it's own trusted Taxi Cab Service?
I rest my case, and my Bottle of St. Martin Reserve: cool:

Just got feedback from buyer of turntable up north, courtesy of Steve the delivery guy...
He said that Steve was very professional, accommodating and recommendable...thought I'd let you know...
Merry Xmas all!

Is anyone able to transport an amplifier from Redhill in Surrey to West Yorkshire please.
I’ve just bought a lovely Pioneer A-300R and need to get it up here.
Please PM me if you are able to help.

Seems to be a Midlands to South operator. The North left in the cold again.:D
I use Worldwide Parcel Services, they pick up from my house and deliver anywhere in the world. I've sent to France, Germany, Portugal and many places in the UK.
They are a booking service only, but use people like DHL and DPD at rates way below what individuals could get.
I just took advantage of ebays no selling fees for 5 items, sent four parcels last week.
As an example, one of these four items was a small (Pro-Ject) Amp, UK destination, 3Kg and the box was the size of two shoe boxes. It was cheaper through WPS, who used DPD 24 hour (trackable) than with Royal Mail 2nd class to sign for and WPS includes £100 insurance. You can add additional insurance at reasonable cost, when you fill in the on line form. I even got a 1 hour pick up slot from DPD so I could plan my day. It's a very good service. They email you a tracking label within 30 minuets of booking, you print it, stick it and your own address label on the box and wait for the next day pick up, or later, if you specify. You can book late in the evening and still get next day pick up. I just find it so easy to use. *****

Hi all
I'm looking for someone based around Exmouth to collect 3 turntables and meet with me near London, or in London...?
Helping out a friend to sell them on..on his behalf. One's a lenco, a dual and an AR XA...not so expensive. Is the trip worth £45 to anyone? Timing on this is not crucial or pressing..
thank in advance

I have found someone who is great. He delivered my Amphion speakers (85kg each) today without a hitch, he was very careful, he wrapped them well in bubble wrap and blankets and strapped to the side of his van which was not full up. He also charged a very fair price (so I gave him a little bonus for his time and service).
His name's Tony and he has a webpage look for Willows Removals In Leeds. His number is 07939691170

Did you sort this out Don? I may be in Exmouth at the end of the month visiting my friends, I'll be driving back however I could only get them to East Sussex. London isn't possible at the moment. Let me know if that is any help.
Cheers

Sure, held back cos I wanted to see how he performed the second time round, (collection and delivery that is).
Greg is spot on with both collection and delivery times. Previous collection were big speakers, and second was a valve amp. All kit came back to blighty perfect, no dramas...+ it worked out cheaper to pay a courier to get them from abroad and deliver back to me rather than purchase this particular kit in the UK. Provided his own box in last job to protect the valve amp.
Greg's number is 07580 375595 email: g.wieckowski2@gmail.com he does Germany, Belgium France ...that kinda area, got him from Anyvan, good ratings too! and as per usual.. negotiate price!!!!!
He has insurance,.
All the best

Anyone local to Bournemouth consider picking something up, probably boxing it then letting me arrange a courier?
Thanks

Is anyone around the Exmouth area travelling to or towards Londinium?
Got an amp that's just been repaired to be collected from Exmouth and taken to the northern part of London....cash job!
Sooner rather than later....

Thought I’d resurrect this thread.
The phone number quoted by Jamie doesn’t appear to be valid now, so I’m unsure if the guy still operates.
I’m exploring having some speakers shipped from a private seller based in the north east to the south coast.
Any suggestions or recommendations on couriers would be appreciated.
Thanks

You could always give Hifi Hangar a call and see if they still use him. Assuming Hifi Hangar are still going of course I've not seen any of their items recently on eBay but then I've almost stopped browsing for hifi.
Non Smoking Man (Jack) on Maverick is currently collecting and delivering North to South on a monthly basis, he might be worth a try.

Thanks for the replies, I’ll look further into the suggestions offered.
