Outboard motor delivery/collection - urgent help needed please

[Cliveshep]

I've just bought myself a 20hp outboard on e-Bay at one end of the country whilst I live at the other end. There was an transport outfit on e-bay offering to collect and deliver outboards for £39 as part of their regular up & down delivery runs. Unfortunately, whilst they were there last week they are not there this week. Can any forumite please give me details of a company who do this WITHOUT having to box the thing up which the seller is not willing to do. Thanks.

Whoopee - I've found the one I was looking for. For anyone else who may need a service like this I reproduce their blurb below. I haven't yet tried them and I know nothing about them and apologies to the moderator if I shouldn't have reproduced part of their advert but trying to get a 2nd hand outboard collected/delivered is a nightmare, hazardous goods, drain it, purge it, package it etc, most eBay sellers probably couldn't be bothered with all that which is why they all say collection in person only.
