I was thinking around 20 to 25kg?!? Need some bathroom scales!!

Think the dam thing will be too heavy to post or just simply too expensive.

Anyone any ideas???

I would put collection only, no postage, would be very costly to send, I would expect the Royal mail wouldn't take as to heavy.

As Tim has said a courier would have to be used.

Let them sort it, tell them 50 kg with packing :wink:

Cost me more to post it than I received for the fan and the postage !!!

To celebrate, I advertised two door tops....COLLECTION ONLY....

A last tip....do not search on Google for differential weights unless you have a noose !!
