Title: Sending Water Fed Pole via Post/Courier
Post by: Cookie on January 04, 2019, 11:46:10 pm

I'm looking at selling one of my old 22ft poles on eBay.

Problem is... I can't seem to find any postal service/courier who will ship this length of pole within the UK (apart from Parcelforce who want nearly £40!) Most companies seem to have a length limit of 1.2m.

Have any of you done this sort of thing before? Any recommendations?

Gardiners use Fedex…..I think?

Parcel2go. Put the dimensions and weight in and it'll only give you quotes from companies who'll ship that length of package.
