This order would be shipped on a double pallet as this is the cheapest and most efficient option for this order, pallets are charged at a rate of £120 inc VAT giving this order a total cost of £240 to be delivered to a mainland UK address.

Based on the above shipping thresholds above - you could still add another 35kg to this order (say a kettlebell) and pay the same price in shipping, but if you go over the 500kg threshold, you will move into the next price band for shipping.
