What are the options you've used please ladies and gents?
Can anyone recommend any courier services, if so how much should I be expected to pay for a 12ft rod stored in a 6ft tube?
Interlink Direct - Parcel Delivery - Courier Services - UK & International Parcel Delivery - although you might get a better price using a parcel/courier broker online. Can't knock interlinks service though.
Cheers Jimmy, I've just had a quick browse and it says the biggest dimensions for length are 1 metre long!
Cheers Brum.
I haven't sold any rods yet mate. I've got rid of anything that's not been used in a while, rucksacks hodlalls etc and now am going through my rods.
First up I've got a fox warrior 12ft 2.75 tc carp rod that's been used once in the 3 years I've had it and I have a Steve Parton handbuilt fly rod on what I believe is a harrison blank.
There are also another 10 or so rods that I haven't made my mind up about just yet as they'll fetch next to nowt, especially with Shaky mach II's retailing at about £22.
Edit: Just been told by my local PO that 1.5m is the max size. So I may try and blag it as you've suggested, and hope the nice lady on the counter doesn't check, if not, £11 by Parcelfarce. Although MSE mention various middlemen who will do courier service cheaply.
That's EXACTLY what I posted aaaaaggggggeeeeessssss ago...... well 9 posts ago. :whFred
This was the one you gave me when I asked the same question.
Eddie, great courier, cost me about £10 to send a 2 piece 12 ft rod using economy and delivered next day:
