Automotive Parts We Deliver Every Day

We understand that car parts come in every shape, size and weight. Our network has extensive experience handling the full range of automotive components safely and securely.

Engines & Gearboxes

Complete engines, bare blocks, cylinder heads, gearboxes and transfer cases. We handle these heavy, high-value components daily. Typically shipped on quarter or half pallets depending on size, with weights from 50 kg to 350 kg.

Recommended: half pallet | from £39.99

Body Panels & Bumpers

Bonnets, wings, doors, boot lids, bumpers and quarter panels. These items require careful packaging to prevent scratches and dents. We recommend cardboard corner protectors and stretch wrap over a full pallet or oversized pallet for longer panels.

Recommended: full or oversized pallet | from £54.99

Wheels & Tyres

Alloy wheels, steel wheels, complete wheel and tyre sets. A set of four wheels with tyres fits perfectly on a quarter or half pallet. Stack them flat, secure with ratchet straps or stretch wrap and they'll arrive safely.

Recommended: quarter or half pallet | from £29.99

Exhaust Systems

Full exhaust systems, catalytic converters, DPF filters and manifolds. Long exhaust systems may require an oversized pallet. Individual components like cats and DPFs fit comfortably on a quarter pallet.

Recommended: quarter to oversized | from £29.99

Windscreens & Glass

Windscreens, rear screens and side glass require specialist packaging. Use a proper windscreen box or crate with foam spacers. We strongly recommend enhanced insurance cover for all glass shipments. Mark clearly as fragile on all sides.

Recommended: full pallet + crate | from £54.99

Suspension & Running Gear

Subframes, wishbones, springs, shock absorbers, driveshafts and axles. These parts are generally robust and easy to ship. Wrap in bubble wrap, secure to the pallet and you're good to go. Multiple items can be stacked on a single pallet.

Recommended: quarter or half pallet | from £29.99

Packaging Guide for Car Parts

Proper packaging is essential for automotive components. Follow our expert guidance to ensure your parts arrive in perfect condition.

Engines & Gearboxes

Preparation

  • Drain all fluids completely -- oil, coolant, gearbox oil
  • Seal all openings with plastic bags and tape
  • Remove or secure any loose ancillaries

Palletising

  • Place on a sturdy pallet with the sump facing down
  • Bolt or strap the engine to the pallet through mounting points
  • Wrap entirely with stretch film -- at least 4 layers

Body Panels & Painted Parts

Protection

  • Wrap painted surfaces with foam sheeting first
  • Apply cardboard corner protectors to all edges
  • Do NOT let stretch wrap touch paint directly

Securing

  • Stand panels upright on the pallet where possible
  • Use timber bracing or cardboard walls for support
  • Strap to pallet with ratchet straps for extra security

Windscreens & Automotive Glass

Essential Requirements

  • Must be shipped in a proper windscreen box or wooden crate
  • Use foam spacers on all sides and between panes
  • Mark all sides clearly as "FRAGILE -- GLASS"
  • We strongly recommend enhanced insurance for glass items

Important Note on Glass

Glass items shipped without proper crating may not be covered by insurance in the event of damage. We strongly advise using a purpose-built windscreen shipping box which can be sourced from automotive glass suppliers or packaging companies.

Insurance for High-Value Parts

We know that car parts can be worth hundreds or even thousands of pounds. A reconditioned gearbox, a set of genuine alloy wheels or a rare body panel deserves proper protection in transit.

Every shipment includes £50,000 of standard goods-in-transit insurance at no extra cost. For higher-value parts, enhanced cover is available at checkout for a small additional premium.

If you're shipping exceptionally high-value items, please contact our team for a bespoke insurance quote. We can arrange cover for virtually any value with our specialist underwriters.

FAQ

Car Parts Delivery FAQs

Common questions about shipping engines, body panels, wheels and other automotive components by pallet.

Yes, this is mandatory. All engines, gearboxes and components must have fluids fully drained before shipping. This includes engine oil, coolant, gearbox oil and power steering fluid. Leaking fluids can damage other consignments and will result in a surcharge or refusal. Seal all openings with plastic bags and cable ties after draining.

Absolutely. We deliver car parts to residential addresses across the UK using tail-lift vehicles. The driver will lower the pallet to the kerb for you. This is particularly common for eBay and marketplace sellers delivering to private buyers. See our residential delivery page for full details.

Most car engines fit on a half pallet (1200×800mm). Larger engines such as V8s or commercial vehicle engines may need a full pallet. If you're unsure, measure the engine on its pallet and check our pallet sizes guide. When in doubt, go up a size — it's better to have space than to risk an oversize surcharge.

Large body panels like bonnets and tailgates typically need a full or oversized pallet. Wrap the panel in foam sheeting first, then cardboard, and lay it flat on the pallet. Use timber battens or cardboard bracing to prevent any movement. Apply stretch wrap over the top but never directly onto painted surfaces.

Yes, many of our customers do exactly this. Get a quote for the most common delivery routes you serve and include the cost in your listing as a shipping option. You can quote a flat rate for mainland UK delivery to keep things simple for buyers. Our economy service from £29.99 makes pallet delivery genuinely affordable for marketplace sellers.
