Whoops. When you said DPD I thought you were referring to http://www.directparceldelivery.com

Bit confusing with the names but the above website shows it at £17.99

Morning guys and gals

Could this be the answer? Discount Delivery UK, out of no where have got a £6.50 service! Sounds amazing. Anyone willing to try it, I've nothing to send until Wednesday but providing it is still available then I'll give it a go.

It's the very top one, Parcel 650 service!

Very similar to this one http://ukdelivery4u.com/index.html
I wonder if they're the same company.

Hi, I asked them this question when I first cam across them and they said it was simply a new template they'd bought. They're not connected at all.

That £6.50 service will either be FedEx or parcelforce I reckon, good luck to them!

That template is being sold on ebay for £25-100. Doesn't help with brand distinction though.

Any recommendations for Thailand?

Looking at a few boxes first but then maybe a pallet.

Thanks in advance.

:cool: Hi AS, its just that the standard rate for DPD is £53 up to 25kg and TGE was tailor made for my 2 packages. I think £53 is a great price don't get me wrong but its the basic price and i have no need at present to spend that much. PS has the thread calmed down a bit since I was last on or.....

That's good. Just make sure you've done the volumetric weight on your parcel, as in the past when we've used tge we've been out and had the excess charged to our card a few weeks down the line.

Yeh, certainly has. Coincidently it's coincided with the disappearance of shafi. I think it's actually quite productive now!

DPD list and quote the cheapest, so they would be my first port of call. Also worth trying WPS and TGE (links on first page). I would also contact freightsearch as this is one of the areas they specialise in ('complete logistic solutions'), so should be able to help on the box and pallet side of things,
