    Hi,

    I need to get a rear bumper for a 406 coupe. Nothing available in Ireland and price new is out of hte question.

    I've come across some breakers in UK but they're looking for £160 for delivery for an £80 bumper. It represents good value over a new bumper but still the shipping seems very expensive.

    The package would be about 2m x 1m x0.5n and weighs 25KG.

    Anyone got any tips on getting it over for less?

    thanks in advance

    interlink/dpd do not cover all carparts, they only do items with weight up to 30 kg. They stated that they had problems in the past taking shipments of car parts from abroad. You could try DHL but you need to know the exact measurements and weight of the package before you contact them.
