Cheap Parcel Delivery Thread MK3

Hi,

When all this settles down a bit I would be interested in seeing a rating for each alternative in terms of the ordering process.

PPW meant I could easily guess size and weight (ie. that i was within the limits), where previously I would have the tape measure and scales out for every parcel I sent. I really don't want to go back to doing this if PPW are no more.

Parcels for £5.08 on DHL 48hr. Might be quite handy in the present climate.

Quite clever marketing, expanding market share while the main competition is down. Certainly will be using it...are they reliable?

parcel2go are fine. Just not worth using unless they have this type of special offer on. Their booking process is terribly time consuming, I think their cut-off is pretty early and you literally[FONT=&quot][/FONT] get 79841213 emails from James Holmes Brown.

hey guys,

so just checked the ppw site and it now says that PPW site is under maintenance, hmm,

anyway, can someone recommend a site where i do not have to enter all dimensions and weights?

got some that have to go out tomorrow so if anyone can help would be ace.

thanks

Just a further warning about that parcel2go offer, there's a £10 surcharge on dimensions 50x50x50cm (20kg volumetric) or over. Ridiculous.

I've got a 51cm parcel. I put it down as 50cm. Should I be worried?
