    I am buying a scooter online, size 140kg, 115.00 x 55.00 x 20.00 cm or 45.28 x 21.65 x 7.87 inches

    Would parcel motel or another courier company with a UK or European address be able to deliver to me?

    If you order it to parcel motel and it doesn't fit they will text you saying so and to top up by a certain amount on your account for a home delivery. I do it every so often for items that are too big but won't ship directly to me. Charge isn't that much, I think last time I did it I paid 7e for the home delivery on a fairly heave and big parcel.

    were they as heavy as 140KG? The price calculator on their website says they wont deliver a parcel that heavy

    Not that heavy no, Id say more like 20kg, But the dimensions were definitely larger then what their calculator allows.

    No way PM will take 140KG item. Farcical to suggest it. One man is normally permitted to lift a max of 40kg so thats a van with 4 men to shift it? Nope. They dont do forklift stuff.


    Probably better to get it consigned all the way to you from the seller, have a chat with them.
