Pretty sure the last company i used was called Paisley freight as there were no issues with the parcel length

If it's like here in the U.S., retailers, who ship frquently, can negotiate far better shipping rates with FedEx and others, then joe public can get.

Yes mate direct. I think it's up to 190cm. I've sold loads on eBay and used them instead of the simple delivery with no problems 👍.

Just about every tackle shop in the uk sends out rods by courier usually for 'free' but I'd be surprised if they paid anything like the figures quoted.
I just got rods delivered by the tackle box by fed ex..maybe worth exploring them

Sadly all the known courier are expensive to send 12ft rods parcel force wanted over £40 to send one last year I found . In the end I had to travel just under a 40 mile round trip to drop a rod of I sold last year to an APC depot as I did not have a account with them so had to pay cash they charged me £20 for next day delivery

Ah, thanks man - didn't check them. Is that just through their site? I think Parcel Force/DX was around £50 👎

DPD usually costs about 15 quid and do a good job - cheapest by miles

Hi guys,
I'm having a shed/garage clear out - who do you use, courier-wise, for sending rods out around the UK?
They're an unusual shipping size, aren't they. A lot of of the big boys shipping calculators fall over when you add the measurements in. I'll be using several of the carboard tubes that new rods often arrive in.
Thoughts?
