I used Parcelmonkey's service, who consequently used Parcelforce. According to the tracking info, it's there! Just waiting for the New Zealand guy to wake up and confirm..

I've actually blown up my second engine due to oil surge :facepalm: The place I am sending the sump to make the sump hold more volume, baffle it and fit 4 gates inside the sump to ensure oil is always by the pick up. The company in NZ is the only company I could find who does this work that includes 4 gates locking oil in.

I just used them for an ARB which is obviously an odd shape. Parcel2go the cheapest quote was £60 + VAT. £10.80 on interparcel


I already sent it by Parcelmonkey at a cost of £65. I did check interparcel for shits n giggs and luckily enough they quoted £94. Phew!

You'll need to declare the value to get insurance but then you fuck the buyer on duties..

Decent agents will let you specify different insurance values to actual values ;)


What would you recommend then? I'm not actually selling anything. I'm sending something away to be modified and then it will be returned.

Yeah I know it's cheap already, but i'm broke back mountain at the moment lol.

Ooo nice find Ian! I'll give Parcelmonkey a go when I have the proper details. Is that the main website you'd use?

Parcelmonkey are quoting Parcelforce at £56.59 for those dimensions but the weight will be critical, needs to know properly TBH

Tbh mate that's quite cheap for it to travel thousands of miles :lol:

posted on 4th Aug 16 at 09:22

Been told it'll weight about 5kgs inc packaging. TNT quoted £66.43. Any other options?


P1CK4D

posted on 4th Aug 16 at 06:52

Its a sump off an Evo. So id hazard a guess 45 x 25 x 20cm. 20kgs to be on the safe side.

Just been quoted £75 by TNT so it's getting better but that was at a weight of 12kgs...

Anyone know of any good couriers or can recommend a cheap courier to send a car sump to New Zealand? Looking for the cheapest price poss! Best so far has been Parcel force at £160.50. Help!
