Yes, yes I'm sure someone has, just if any of you lot who's opinion I sort of trust has or would use one.

I've found a wing for the fiat, unfortunately it's in Spain and the seller won't ship outside Spain.

I've found a site called parcl which lets you put a link to the item, where you want it sending from and to. You then get offers from people who live in that region and will ship onwards. The dodgy bit is that from what I can tell, anyone can set up an account and nick your item as well as the money they charge to send it on

Alternatively, anyone going to Barcelona in the near future or know anyone who lives in Spain and would send a large parcel to the uk?

There's the YT channel 'Restore It' who's restoring a BMW 325 out there, having moved out 6 months ago. Maybe he'll help you if he knows you're a kindred spirit?

Try parcel2go for a price.

Shipped 2 large 20kg boxes in 4 days to Benidorm the other week with ups for 50 quid insured upto 300. They may be funny about certain items and dimensions however.

After reading peoples' roadtrips I looked at the route;

With all the roadworks it looks like it could be passed hand to hand pretty much all the way back.

I’ve heard Shiply recommended quite a few times; never used them myself though.

He won't ship out of Spain but would he accept a Courier collection ??

I left an iPAD at the airport in Germany and arranged, via UPS for it to be collected and delivered to work. Wasn't cheap (£40 odd) but fairly simples...

Yes. I imported from Korea some BTS merch the big girl was going batty over, using such a service. It worked out fine.

None of this is really useful to you Harry, sorry.

how big is big?

Used the Parcl website, basically you put in what you want from where and where to, and users bid for your business and give a quote.

You either buy the item yourself and have it sent to them or you can opt to pay them the total amount and they will purchase and send on the item.

Easy enough to do, the main delays with my item were from the original seller of the item. The rest seemed to work smoothly enough, although the website emails notifying me of messages from my forwarder didn't always come through.
