I was using loads of different wet and dry sand paper, they would need either powder coating/painting or machine polishing to bring them up nice
I will go to the post office and ask them tomorrow lunch time

Parcelforce by 9am £63.50 Guaranteed by 9am next working day
Parcelforce by 10am £54.90 Guaranteed by 10am next working day
Parcelforce by Noon £41.30 Guaranteed by noon next working day
Parcelforce 24 £31.70 Guaranteed 1 Day
Parcelforce 48 £25.60 Guaranteed 2 Days
These are from the Parcelforce website...not too bad...would be in no rush so the £25 service over 2 days would be cool

guessed where u lived too there for delivery from EH14 edinburgh as thats the only postcode I know in scotland to an L for Liverpool postcode...
but should roughly be the same price...!
