Help with posting a stock saddle- any tips please?

[Solitaire07]

Hi, I have decided to sell my stock saddle because I have to pay a vets bill!!!! Also am a dressage rider now so its wasted!

I am wondering about the best way to post it as I have put it on ebay so I may have to if the person lives a long way away.

Its a swinging fender saddle so the stirrups and the fenders come off so it can be made smaller for wrapping up. I once packed it in a holdall and carried it on board an international flight as fragile- its not really heavy!

So! Do i use Post Office or should I courier it? Can I wrap it in bubble wrap and brown paper or should I go with the holdall option?

Thank you in advance I haven't had to post a saddle before.

i have just sold a saddle and i sent it in with parcel force. they where really good and picked it up the day that i phoned them and the person who bought it had it 2 days later.

to send it i just put it in a big cardboard box and filled it with bubble wrap and then put loads of brown tape round the box. parcel force bring adress labels so they can just be stuck on!

hope this helps!

Thank you! That sounds ideal- I am new to ebay and selling stuff! However my tackroom is tiny and it seems sensible to recycle!! Alison
