Pete Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Crikey. I've shipped with CityLink before. Made sure they were VERY well package first though. Cost about 15 quid and was fully insured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gzaerojon Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 its probably because you want a pick up and a drop in one job, it would be cheaper to take then down the depot first. city link are ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
