been using these myself as fed up with failed rebooks with dpd
although they do refund, its just a pain keep rebooking.

With parcelmachine not had any problems and
some excluded postcodes on dpd dont apply with them either.

Hi All!

Can anyone suggets the best way to post delicate china? I am selling some crown derby one ebay and I need to post it all. I have all the packaging sorted now but I don't know the best way to post.

The lady at teh post office was very helpful and explained that none of the post office insurance covers china breakage so that's out. Some will be worth around £100. I was thinking just First Class Recorded? I don't know! So confused!!

As always - thank you so much!

royal mail special del use to best option as they insur for fragile goods whereas most couriers dont.. read terms
to find who does;)

What service do you reckon they are using?

The Benefits

• Optional Safeplace Service for your customers – giving a choice of delivery options at the point of order, for increased customer satisfaction.

• Free return to you of undeliverable items.
• No Extra charge for Saturday Deliveries.
• No Extra charge for London Congestion Zones.

Edit: you've already answered! Next questions, how long will it last before the RM stop it?

well TBH tracked isnt a big service for RM yet.take up has been relativly slow but is on the up
part of the problem is poor implementation of the procedures of tracking in DO's
its a very conveluted process tbh but its a sort of answer to what people want of RD's.tracking to show the item is at the DO before delivery
havent a clue how long it would take if at all. im not sure how it would work with collections etc and even if post offices would accept the items?
i know if someone tried to drop off a tracked item at our DO i wouldnt be able to scan it into the system

I had loads of parcels to send from selling items on eBay and after searching this website and the internet I found a website called Send Express.

These guys are an affiliate of some bigger parcel companies and offer really good prices.

Oh dear another muppet. Any guesses who sdjones might be? :rotfl:

Does anyone know if parcel2go have an offer on at the moment? (straight discount rather than 'tax credits').
