Arranging a courier to collect item?

[freak_unique]

Hey i have found a lovelly wardrobe on ebay i want which is "collection only" and it is in London and I am in Kidderminster so a little too long to collect plus i dont drive. I contacted the ebay seller and asked if she would ship to me, she said she would if i arranged and paid for the courier. Does anyone know how i do this? and what company to go with and how much it is likely to cost?
any advice would be great
thankyou

Probably cost a lot more to courier than the wardrobes are worth.

hi, try this number 0208 561 0380
its from a palletsystem and its cheap. if the seller can put the goods on a pallet they can transport it and deliver in 48 hrs.

I used to be a courier and have just priced this up at about �104 same day delivery - usually 40p/mile and 130 miles each way. If you can get it in a small van that's what to expect - if not in a transit type van - maybe about 50p/mile. You can't really overnight it due to its size. If you know anyone who would - ask them to drive with you to get it - hire a van - it might only cost �50 a day and collect it yourself.

Make sure they are insured for any damages though and they they have relevanmt courier insurance you could end up out of pocket.
