Anderzander Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Anyone know of a courier that will move a tyre please? Paisleys say they need to be boxed, the ones that used to be on eBay seem to have disappeared, are there any others ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Terms & conditions seem to vary depending on which agent you use, ebay, parcel2go etc, as they seem to make thier own standardised rules but if you check directly with the couriers most will accept a tyre if its within weight or dimension parameters as long as they are wrapped & labelled. I've sent a few recently, I think using Parcelforce and TNT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I get all my tyres from a well know auction site to fit myself, and they mostly seem to come via Hermes (now Evri) Mostly just bound in pairs with parcel tape and a label stuck on ! No packaging at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Most of my tyres come by DX just with the label stuck straight on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Pallet? Probably overkill for one tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yep, but if couriers won't take it otherwise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sent them before just covered in pallet wrap and a label stuck on. Can't recall who with tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several parcel service brokers out there, like Interparcel. Should only need a pallet if its a big truck tyre ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Honestly, Hermes/Evri round here have been the most reliable courier by a long way. Just putting it out there as they take a lot flak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our local small parcel guy is good - but big parcels come from a different depot and they’ve been shocking. They lost two expensive family sized tents one after another - their tracking said each had been delivered to us - but showed a photo and a gps position of a completely different town - not only that but the picture was of a completely different item. They had zero interest in finding it, they never returned them to the sender - so what can you think? Binned or stolen 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binned or stolen 🤷🏻♂️ I had the similar thing happen year before last. Not with Hermes, but Yodel. I had ordered a couple of LED number plate lamps for one of my vans. Never arrived, so I got on to the seller to find out if they had been forgotten about, and was more or less accused of trying to pull a fast one. Eventually and reluctantly they sent some replacements which I fitted and forgot about. The originals turned up here fourteen months later ! No idea how or where they had been, so dont give upon your tents yet ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Anyone used a courier to send a set of complete wheels with tyres. I am trying to bid on some for my jeep, but they always seem to be on the other side of the country somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
