I need to arrange a courier to deliver 3 items of gym equipment, 2 rowing machines and a treadmill. Most normal couriers won't touch something this heavy, which companies will.

Alternatively if any PH'ers run couriers or have accounts with couriers who do this sort of thing, please give me a shout!

www.postvan.com look quite good, £16+ VAT for the rowers, however I think I might need to phone for a quote for the 100kg treadmill!

Thanks guys, the treadmill was collected today, someone is coming for a rower a week today and I will deliver the other rower as it's only to cambridge.

I could only get silly quotes for the treadmill as it weighed 120kg odd so it had to be collected. With 6 of us, it took 2 hours to move it about 20 feet through two doors and into a transit van
