How much should it cost to post a pushchair?

That obviously depends on the size of your pushchair and how quickly you would like it to get there.

The first thing to work out when you're looking for parcel delivery prices for sending a pushchair by a courier is the dimensions of your boxed and packaged stroller. For many parents, space is often at a premium in the home, and you're unlikely to have kept the box you bought the pushchair in. If you have, great it will make working out a courier price so much easier. If you haven't, you'll have to try and find a way of packaging it properly.

If you can't re-use a box from another purchase such as hi-fi or kitchen equipment you could, conceivably place your pushchair in two thick bin bags (not the very cheap ones) and fill will scrunched up newspaper, or hopefully you will have packing filler or bubble-wrap from other purchases. Make sure that your package is tapped appropriately with no loose ends and is as compact, padded and sturdy as possible.

When you have done this, measure your package accurately. Most scales should be able to take a pushchair and give you the correct weight. You should expect a single pushchair to weight anywhere from 6kg to 12kg - depending on its make and style. Please don't guess this as if your parcel crosses into another price bracket you could be charged for excess weight. You will also need to measure its height, length and width.

Prices for within the UK and Islands?

What about proper prams?

If you have a traditional pram, it may be a touch too large for some of the next day courier services. Make sure when you back it that keep its overall volume as small as possible.
