Default shipping a diff

i'm looking at flogging a diff but having a look on parcel2go, it's going to be a fair bit for postage - £60 for a pallet and thats about the only way i can think it's not going to be damaged.

i know a few people have bought and sold diffs here, so how did you pack them up/receive them, and what did it cost?

Just wrap it in some heavy duty plastic bags and take the slack out of them with tape

Find a friendly business who regularly ships things and see if they will send it for you.

I sent a full exhaust system down to Dixon with Fed ex for£20, a diff is a sturdy bit of kit, why not make a wooden box for it?

i dont have any wood to make a box for it
looks like im just going to face upto the cost of courier and let the buyer decide if it's worth it

not sure that plastic wrap would be the best idea. dropping it would likely result in damage..

My mate got fcuked over by Parcel2Go and decided to get his own back so set up a websiet called Parcel2GoSuck, told his story and invited others to share their tales of woe also.

Went to court, the lot.

P2G ended up buying his domain and site off him for £5000 so they could take it down.

lol
