My complete engine was transported on a pallet. A block, although lighter, is still rather heavy and ungainly, so I'm not sure there's any other way to post it :/

anyone happen to have the dimentions of a block?

Nah.. I reckon you'll need three, just to be on the safe side

Try Shipley.Co.uk is a bit like what only Currier's bid to transport your items. I had a mini brought up from hull to Newcastle for less than £90, so you might be able to get a good deal on there

I had a quote from Minispars for £50 for a complete engine

Weight it and I used a company called parcel monkey.

I sent a compressor which was 39 kg. and it was about £15-20. Collected from your home or work.

You don't need it on a pallet just boxed up well. Lots of reinforcing and padding.

Yeah I was thinking along the lines of £15/20 the seller has told me it weighs 30kg I had my mig welder collected for less than £20

http://www.nationalpallets.co.uk about £40 for complete engine on pallet so will be cheaper for you

Don't be ridiculous, have you ever tried getting an engine block through that plastic slot thingy that they have in the post office, to check that your envelope's not too thick?.... And if you put it in a jiffy bag first, then you've got no chance!!
