    Trying to buy a windsurfing board from the UK... Guys are quoting me 125gbp for shipping... Driving over to collect wouldn't cost much more... Any suggestions for a more reasonable alternative?

    Ask them how much to pack a board and get a few quotes from DHL etc for pick up and delivery

    Cost me 50 to have a board packed and shipped from Spain

    Thanks. Found a decent board on another site and it costs 50 to ship. First place is way off the pace

    hey nhur, who did you get to quote you? I'm looking for something shipped with similar dimensions and cant even get anyone to quote so wondering who you got? They might be too expensive but at least I will have quote.
    Thanks

    honestly can't remember ... ultimately the board was shipped with DHL or nightline or equivalent... but the seller sorted it out so I didn't have to
