    Who to use for shipping an 8×4

    Posted by David McCarroll on December 5, 2016 at 3:18 pm

    Hi Guys,

    We have a customer that has a new branch down south and have to supply and install a panel, the question i have is who to use to ship the panel with?

    Is it something I’m better just to leave to group101 who have much more experience than me when shipping and packing for that matter of this kind stuff?

    Thanks in advance

    We ship sheets as big as 3m x 2m we’ve developed our own packaging to keep sheets safe! Sometime we even build dibond cases to hold the sheets

    Why ship it, if youre having to install cant you carry it?
    I travelled to southampton from newcastle last week with 5 x 1.5x3M panels to fit

    We did last year Chris but Glasgow to Swindon isn’t justifiable for 1x panel hence using an external fitter.

    Thanks James, I think the easiest option is to use yourself a (y)
