Alloy wheel courier preferences

Somerset Jim · 12-07-2015, 05:26 PM

Hi all,

I've just bought a set of winters and need to courier them but the trouble is knowing which firm to use. The default would be Paisley freight but having googled them to find their website there were lots of scathing reviews on them.

I've found Simpson transport but they are an extra £30 at £75 and they will take 10 working days. On the plus side they will wrap them so the seller doesn't have to.

I'd be interested to hear who you've used and how you've got on.

i post with parcelmonkey - usually get good prices, it might be cheaper to send as 2 packages instead of 4 or 1... most of the time, the best price is with parcelforce or yodel and both have been good to me

i used to send with CityLink and they were so so good but they're long gone now

Paisley freight are just a broker & it'll be TNT that collect/deliver.

Used them a few times & never had any issues!

I've used Paisley Freight a few times. Citylink usually pick up the tyres/alloys. Had 4+ sets of wheels delivered in the past with no issues. Have a set of tyres going tomorrow through them.

I think Paisley Freight is what my friend Wheel_Unique uses to ship his wheels.

Interparcel used to be very reasonable not sure on max dimensions though

Saying Parcel Monkey is your chosen courier is like saying you're insured with confused.com btw.

Ok thanks folks. Think I'll stick with Paisley freight. Looking forward to getting the new winters on!
