Cheap Parcel Delivery Thread MK3

Yeh that's my understanding too. However p2go apparently offer FedEx to business customers, £25 to the States. So there must be someone else offering it....somewhere!

Hiya.
looking to send a parcel inland.No rush,but cheapest with insurance of around £50.I used to use Pharos until they got expensive and recently once with ppwexpress.
My printer is playing up and i cannot print any waybills etc..Are there any companies that will just pick up and send without me having to print anything?
Many thanks.

Went for FreightSearch in the end.
Straight pick-up.Delivered the next day,no problems at a cost of £7.27.

As its the festive time I thought I would try TGE to see what they would be like with a 2 parcels no more than total of 10kg from UK to Canada. Will update all when things start moving, pick up is next Wednesday 3rd Dec with 2-3 day turnaround so I don't expect it until 8th really but....
Has anyone else used them lately?

Hi Armitage,

I think it's worth changing few things (highlighted in red) on the first page.

I hope it helps

As far as I heard FedEx international moves away from resellers so don't think that there will be new players with FedEx but obviously I might be wrong.

good grief!!! £54 quid up from £26?? The most I am paying is £47 (with TGE) and that includes insurance, - delivery through DHL
I was thinking of using DPD but something put me off (perhaps the website booking)
jeez!

Interparcel.com still didn't increase their prices yet. So you need to rush.

I need to post a book, James May 20th Century hardback to be precise and would like some advice on who to use for the cheapest postage. It weighs 1.27kg before packaging.

I also need to post on a Wii Fit (sorry not for sale its to go to a friend) and would like the best place for that as well.
Thanks in advance
