I suppose the main ones are your safest option. All charge weight and size of goods for transportation. Are you using a euro pallet or standard one. My guess also being class as hazardous material inside or oil even drained would be on top of price

aberdeen to Luton

I sent mine with Interparcel. I got a roll of cheap bubble wrap and rolled that round it a few times so any oil leakage would take a while to make its way out to the outside world. I didn't have any strapping or a machine to put it on, but fortunately I had some big cable ties (about 8mm by 600 mm) so I tied it on the pallet with those. It cost me about £48 I think.

Luton eh? Off to Ashcroft's by any chance?

Your main ones DPD DHL Parcel Force guarantee and insured. A stout box able to accept a few knocks. Pending on the size gearbox or parts. Put them in a couple of bin bags to keep the residue of oil inside. Pack bubbwrap or foam or chips or crushed balls of newspapers tightly.

All sorted

Following on from this do not use pallet force unless you want your pallet to sit in a depot in the same city it was collect from for a week
