We've managed to get a 12mth old Bradcot Classic awning with Easy Alloy poles on ebay for £200! Just need to arrange a courier to ship it from Hertfordshire.
I can't believe how lucky we're being at the moment - got a better than expected price for our van, bought our new one lots cheaper than expected, sold our own 12mth old Bradcot for a good price & now got a new one really cheap!
I use parcel2go or payperparcel. They will carry up to 32kgs for under a tenner. I always go for the economy 2-3 day delivery and it the parcel always arrives the next day regardless.
Perhaps me only wanting a blue awning isnt helping my search.

I've gone on 'anyvan' delivery auction site where couriers bid for the job. Had one enquiry already.
Tigermouse - it's 200 miles away & I worked out it'd cost about £55 in fuel plus take a whole day to collect ourselves so as long as the price isn't much more we'll keep the day to ourselves & let someone else bring it. Quotes so far are £60+ so I'll give it a bit longer before I choose one...
Savanne - We just sold a 990 Bradcot but it was the Concept Plus & a bit of a monster to put up. I was also adament we were having a blue one again & not too old. We've kept our Bradcot tall annexe & inner (only been used for a week) so needed an Active, Concept or Classic for it to fit.
Well, got the courier for £55 & on the website I used they all have feedback (bit like ebay). The one I've chosen has really good feedback re being helpful, flexible & reliable so I'm happy with that & we get to keep Saturday to ourselves
I think i have a Bradcot classic 990, it was bought for our last van an amara 533/4. Steel poles not alloy. I was gutted that it didnt fit ourpegasus due to the extra height of the van. I had to buy another classic If you are interested let me know.
Best caravan bargain I ever got was at a boot sale where I saw awning behind the table. The stall holder said it had been a donation to the charity and couldn't tell me anything about it. At £25 I reckoned is was worth taking a chance. Took it back to the caravan and opened it up to find an as new virtually unused porch awning, it even matched the colours of the caravan! Result!
