A odd question

does anyone know the weight of a door of a 2 dr car? I am hoping to buy a door but need the weight for postage

Bob

Stripped out to a bare shell or still fully assembled with frame, glass, hinges, locks, handles, mechs etc....?

A fully assembled door weighs a tonne! I can only recommend the seller queue at their local post office and get a price. It wouldn't just be governed by the weight, but also the size. Second class basic postage by the post office is actually quite cheap, I was quoted £10 once for a wing and it cost £9.50 to send a swivel pin and trunnions to Norfolk from the West Midlands.

My bathroom scales say about 21Kg. ;) (that doesn't include hinges and captive nut plates BTW - they are probably another 1-2Kg by themselves)

But you can only use second class if your package doesn't weigh more than 1Kg. The cheap(ish) Royal Mail option for parcels up to 20Kg is called Standard Parcels. For a complete assembled door you may have to use a courier service instead.

Really..... trying to get mine to fit I would easily put a zero on the end of 21!

Use www.interparcel.co.uk for delivery as they will collect and deliver these for much less than Royal Mail.

thanks all
