Happy to collect/deliver en-route (within reason), for a Mug-o-Hot-Chocolate and to make a bit of a journey break! Returning home on Saturday 10th. Private please, not Commercial.

	Okay, glad you got it sorted 3 metres is the max length I can put into the overnight system; I could have done it for £47.00 plus the vat so the price you have from TNT is fine.

	our couriers won't take anything over 2m, most race sails / membranes that get shipped in (which is just about every load path/ custom sail!) folded with the battens rolled up, they are then unpacked and rolled. Then it will cost £14 from parcel force - our ben211 customload path sail was delivered like this - much tomy surprise...
	Cheers you only me from over the sea......

	I run a courier company in London and can arrange third party collections and deliveries. If you can let me know the dimensions and weight I may be able to help you ?? Mike

	Ouch! It would be cheaper to drive it there at that price. I sent a Fireball main & jib from the south cost to scotland a few years back, but I don't know the cost - the recipient organised it. Fairly sure it wasn't anythink like £80 though. The intention was to roll both sails inside a carpet roll centre tube, but the main wouldn't fit so it was rolled around the outside & the whole lot encased in bubble-wrap.
