Thanked 340 Times in 281 PostsHermes don't take large items or over 15kg, stand on your bathroom scales with it or just guess, if it's heavy to pick up all together at a guess it's prob around 25kg or more? TNT take upto 35kg.
I do a lot of posting

Thanked 2,222 Times in 1,791 PostsGuestimate it mate, as long as it's near enough they wont bother checking it, I work for TNT and the amount of stuff we get going through the system that's no where near the weight it's specified as it stupid. I'd say if it's an exhaust then 30-40 k should be about right. Split the exhaust down into as smaller pieces as possible as the length of the package really effects the price.

Thanked 107 Times in 90 PostsTry P4D - used trhem for wheels, heads, windows. all kinds of stuff.
Try entering a load of different weights on their on line quote system - you can probably overspecify it with no ££penalty anyway. I think the rates tend to change about 20kg and I cannt imagine it being anywhere near that. IIRC two alloys in one parcel cost the same as a single in another - so size weight arent that much of an issue.
Its only bumpers that still cause a problem!! thats when you find length matters!! fnnnaarr
