I ordered some manhole covers, and they arrived by courier. 3 all neatly stacked on a half pallet, nicely tied down with both pallet wrap and banding.
Already had the one stolen, and as it is a GRP resin casting it has no scrap value, unlike the cast iron cover it replaced. Next one will have a locking mechanism, but not the OEM one, as they want $300 for the lock, for a $40 cover. I will just buy some more covers at $30 for the cover alone.
Courier had to take the 90kg load off the back of the truck without any handling equipment..... Not exactly something ( aside from the frames, which are breakable, as I found out removing the old ones with a jackhammer and crowbar) a courier can actually break short of driving it over with the truck or a forklift.
