near you .. but not too near

Is there anybody living in Belfast who'd take delivery of a pair of car tyres for me then allow me to pick them up at yours to take back aboard the ferry as a foot passenger ? Car cost is mental.. be a bottle of your fav wine in it for you ?!!

Long shot I know .. 🤣

Or if anybody has any idea of a postal.lovation. That would allow me to do this. Must be in Belfast or in Larne.

Sorry, I'm no help. I'm just curious as to whether you'd be allowed bring two car tyres as a foot passenger.

I phoned Stena and they were cool with it .. those is two new tyres no rims no drugs 🙄

Delivery is going to take too long with the couriers at cairnryan and taking the car at 250 quid for a 40 miles drive to pick them up is crazy so just thinking of other ideas

Can you not go to Belfast and collect them yourself from the garage and go back on the ferry

How the hell could you manage to carry 2 tires

That is my idea .. but the garage selling the tyres is 40 actually 60 miles away. They will deliver to Belfast for free.

Two car tyres ? Piece of piss. Walk on luggage stick em in the rack. Spoke to Stena and they see no problem.

Ha like it .. certainly done similar getting home to Scotland from the rugby in Dublin... In this case timing would be tricky

Looking like I'll just have to drive or hire a car in Belfast for a day .. might be cheaper than 250quid ..

If they'll deliver to Belfast for free can you not just get them to deliver to the ferry terminal building?

Had hoped the ferry building would be able to do that for me but they can't and trying to time my arrival for a courier van is near on impossible.

Solution found though

Hired a wee van for 50 quid for the day along with foot passenger at 57 so drive myself wee day out in Belfast for a 150 quid saving ..

Wouldn't normally do this kind of mad thing but as delivery could not be guaranteed for a specific date when I will need these I really have no choice. So a day out in norn irn it is 👍
