We had a complete wheel and rim delivered from germany by DHL i think, for one of the big tankers we've got as it was special size and high speed and load rating, about £5k worth. Manufacturer sent it on overnight, 3days later no sign of it, they told the manufacturer it was lost in transit, and from their tracking somewhere between germany and uk.....in the channel then was it? 6days later it turned up with a ripped sidewall (being about 2" thick rubber) and a bent rim edge...... they then told the dealer over here it wasn't insured as it wasn't wrapped in bubble wrap or cardboard..........

 

Other than the pain in arse fact of waiting for another to be sent (via someone else) I found it quite amusing how you could loose a tire nigh on 6ft in diameter and 3 feet wide, and then manage to damage it in transit when it was inside a plastic handling crate/pallet thingy........ :lol:

 

Good luck getting them to find it, probably missing a barcode sticker so they can't send it to you! Hope it all gets sorted!

Yer, I sent an aerator up to Yorks last year. Best courier (supposedly) all insured blah blah blah. By the time it got there, one turf scraper was bent, it had been upside down and the engine damaged and oil everywhere. They had to spent £300 on repairs. Insurance pay up - did it hell. :thumbdown:

 

Protea mowers sent me a transport cradle a couple of years ago; a straight axle with 2 wheels at each end; it was the shape of a banana on arrival!
