I'm looking for recommendations.
Given that breakers and other bods post bubble-wrapped bumpers all about the country every workday, there has to be a carriage firm (or firms) doing this at a sane price. In my case, it would be Bournemouth area to Reading or St Albans. You'd think this would be possible, door-to-door for £60 or somewhat less.
Suggestions, anyone - or should I just hit up Shiply for quotes? Little bit gun-shy of them after Jim's experiences a while back. Dimensions approximately 170×70×50 centimetres rounded up, weight less than ten kilograms.

Re: Carriage for Large Bumper
£20 is not much less than my fuel to go and get it...

It's something to do on a dreary winter's day when the missus is at work and the boy is at school. It'd have to wait until the new year but I'll run down and get it if all else fails.

Re: Carriage for Large Bumper
Bournmemouth is local to me if I can help in any way with anything that would fit in a Xantia hatchback. I'm not offering to drive it as far as Reading but thought I'd mention it.

Re: Carriage for Large Bumper
If both Mikes can get together, it could be worth using Rownham services as a transfer point.
