Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Urgent: UK ski courier (Scotland > Bristol: by 25 Jan 19)

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hello All,

My best laid plans to have my skis safely courier from Glasgow to Bristol in advance of a flight this Saturday (26th) have unfortunately fallen flat.

I therefore have an urgent requirement to have my skis shipped this week, and am struggling to determine the best option.

If anyone has any experience of this situation - and has recommendations on couriers, shipping (will a bubble wrapped ski bag so?!), etc.

Any advice would be much appreciated - thanks in advance Smile

Thank you!

Any idea on shipping requirements. Unfortunately I’m overseas with work, and am not therefore with the skis. At present, I have a set of 189 preachers in a large/thick rossignol bag.

If I can get them rolled in bubble wrap (or similiar) will that be sufficient?

Apologies for the tirade of questions.

@DJP23, In that bag they should be fine. You just need a courier. I would choose an overnight option, (by doing so you are building in further options if there is any delay). If you can get them bubble wrapped before the courier collects, that wouldn't be a bad thing, but remember couriers are just like baggage handlers, and you won't bubble wrap before you fly. Alternatively, for £600 I will drive to Edinburgh, collect them and deliver them to you at whatever time you specify in Bristol. Madeye-Smiley

DJP23,

Have a look on www.parcel2go.com

I've just put in a 10kg parcel for a quote (180cm x 15cm x 15cm) and prices start at £15.99.

Paisley Freight are very good & I've had a pair of the 189 preachers delivered by them for less than £20. A mix of bubble-wrap & card kept them safe.

I would avoid Parcel2Go. I booked a next day delivery with them and they failed to collect. They have given no explanation - SO annoying. Avoid unless you want to be disappointed
