Shipping fragile items

    Good morning!

    Will need to ship a good amount of stuff to Italy, including a desktop and a TV, which are items most companies stay far away from, due to them being fragile and expensive.

    Do you guys happen to know any company that has some kind of delivery for such items?

    I contacted several (ecoparcel, GLS...) and they all said no.

    Thanks!

    We use TNT with work and ship stuff like this no TV's but panels. Could give them a rind.. There is another gang who started doing it also I will check tomorrow for you to get their name

    UPS are an express courier - It like going to a michelin star restaurant for a coffe and buscuit.


    If its substantial number of items, it may be best to put on a pallet and ship the entire pallet.

    For Italy, expect €150-€200 for a pallet.

    try www.TPN.ie for local companies that can do the service.

    Not really a pallet, but just a desktop PC. Nothing else
