    I wanted to buy 2 bookcases and a sideboard from ebay - I've never used couriers before,so what sort of cost would I be looking at from rotherham to Stoke-on-trent? Is it worth using them or would it be very prohibitive?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you know the dimensions roughly, as that's what all depends on really.

    bookcases are 1.6m tall, 80cm wide and 30cm deep. Sideboard is 70cm high, 126cm wide and 38cm deep.

    Try Interparcel, they have a TITAN service (TNT) which should take those dimensions. Otherwise try a local courier from the yellow pages, and also worth googling 'shiply' or 'ukbuckloads'.

    hi Armitage,

    Im trying out sale track, and im up to printing the labels part.
    They look like they need to be printed on DHL sticky labels which I dont have, or do I just print them onto normal a4 paper ?

    Howdy! Yep, just normal paper is fine. Then fold them and put it in the document wallet and stick on box (you should of had a bucket load of wallets and DHL Poly bags free).

    If you have any other Q's I'm here (too much!), or drop them a line and ask for Thor- top man!

    08712 100111 or their website DHL Sale Track, probably best over the phone as they can explain how everything works.
