    As long as the tube the cue is in is below 157cm you can send it special delivery. I have sent 3 cues now and every time I go in they try and refused the item saying it is too long and then cave in.

        Special delivery is up to 90cm! (but yes my local postoffice lets me send them too). RM standard parcels is up to 150cm.

        I think parcelforce take longer but I'm not sure they should. Otherwise use UPS via interparcel for ~ £12. UPS premiums start at 180cm+ so the price will be the same for any lengths below that.

                      Yes......Gwizz are perfect!! Last thursday morning at 10.30am I logged into their website and arranged the delivery of a cue and amazingly at 1.30pm a UPS van arrived at my house and collected the cue and it was delivered safely to the other side of the country by the following afternoon. 10 out of 10 and only cost me £8 odd!!
