    Guys,

    ?Have any of u used a courier to collect an LCD or something as large in the UK?
    I have sourced a good panel but they will not ship.

    Sooo. Do you know of anyone who would courier to Ireland?

    Thanks

    DHL or DPD may also do it for you.

    DHL may be a bit more expensive but your panel will be in good hands.

    Gents, thanks very much. I will contact all of them and see who is best. I would not care in paying a bit more for the security that it is in safe hands

    I priced there lads. 50kg is the weight of the panel. DHL and UPS are coming in about 250 euro from Dundee to Castlebar.

    Did you get a quote from Postvan? From what I can see they charge £70 to deliver within 4 days.

    Yip just got quote from PostVan

    "Uk-Rep Ireland - 50kg -
    71x99x32
    £65.95 + Vat"

    So some difference in price! About 115 euro inc VAT!

    Does that size sound right for the Samsung LE40M74BX screen? I tried to find the dimensions but had little joy!

    Is that a real model number? Google turns up nothing.

    I got a 32" LCD (LE32R41BD) delivered from Savastore in the UK, and they only charged me GBP20 delivery to Dublin. Turned up 3 working days after I ordered it.

    The courier they used was Amtrak (www.amtrak.co.uk), don't know if they'll deal with individuals, but might be worth a shot.

    amtrak might be cheaper, but I imagine Savastore (or any retailer) get's a massive reduction, due to the quantity they'll ship with a specific company.
