Unfortunately, I have no dealings with this so can't advise, it's another option though. Title: Re: Courier / Furniture Collection / Van Lend Post by: leethefish on March 28, 2012, 09:53:44 PM Do you know the exact size of the pew? I might be able to help but the van is racked out so depends on the size!

Cheers Lee. Had a few quotes on Shiply. £80 to fetch it, load and deliver. Seems like a deal to me versus hiring a van and driving myself and doing the 5 hour round trip Title: Re: Courier / Furniture Collection / Van Lend Post by: leethefish on March 30, 2012, 07:07:53 AM it wont quite fit width wise 19 in !!.....however if your really struggling and gonna cost a load of money to do then i will remove one of the racks and it will then fit.
