I wasn’t interested in posting a set of wheels when I sold them because of the aggro and expense plus you end up paying eBay fees on postage but I was asked if I could just wrap them up in black plastic and the buyer arranged for a courier to collect them from me. They even provided the label. Couldn’t you do the same? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Looked on their website, plenty of choice but very much overpriced IMHO. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

True but I'm not after new wheels, the ones I was looking at are £300 with decent used tyres. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Bob up & down @ .The people you’re looking at for those wheels I think you will find that you have to contact them on WhatsApp to get a U.K. carriage price. The price of £300 is for post to Europe for some strange reason. I feel sure it was this outfit when I was looking for my wheel and tyre, and I remember this high postal charge. |

I already have done, responded that they won't courier - that's the reason for my rant 😡 Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

This is an eBay trick - you price the item low because that is what you pay commission to eBay on and jack the postage costs up to earn what you want.

Ebay also take a cut on the carriage costs ! The seller also says that they prefer if they are collected as they offer to fit them for you! |

Googling them comes up with a website that describes themselves as a 24 hour on line shop with a flat as a business address. Also a different address is listed elsewhere.
