Does anyone know who is the cheapest for Scottish Highlands? I have £15.99 can anyone get it cheaper?

£13.99 parcelforce http://www.freightsearch.com/
£14.00 parcelforce http://www.directparceldistribution.com/page18.htm

I think that's currently pretty good.

Freightsearch are currently the best value. Are you are regular/daily sender?

right o, well freightsearch are as good as it gets at the moment, and with another DHL rise in January it will probably be going upwards again.

I only asked as if you were daily sender these increases shouldn't affect you you.

If you use Topcashback or Quidco, Interparcel may be better as although they're 10p (~11 or 12p after vat) more than freightsearch, you do get 5% cashback which is ~40p, so ~30p cheaper than fs.

That's with the basic DHL 48hr service @ £6.99. anything else and you can get a further 5% off by signing up on the interparcel website. there's probably better rates for everything else elsewhere though.

oh and Inter's cut off is 10am for DHL, while FS's is 1.30pm though someone said earlier it depends on whether DHL have already finished with your area for the day by that time. I've always been fine booking around 12.30pm though, so it may be more useful if you can only be around in afternoons.

This quidco malarkey, how does it work?

Can you only use it once, and do you have to earn points? I literally have no idea.

its per 'sale'
its just like the revenue through google ads
plenty of threads on MSE
just join and then click through quidco to ebay so your purchase goes via quidco

5% discount does not apply to DHL 48h Home service.

Update is under way boys and gals! I've done some graphics with the aim of making it easier to navigate and ultimately allow people to get the most from it. I haven't touched the prices/companies etc. yet. Hopefully do more over the next few nights. Once finished it will look nothing like the current one.

Whats the story with P2go ?

I have used them for the last 6 weeks with no delivery problems , So I am happy with that side

The price as increased from £5.98 to £7.39 +Vat over that period , not in 1 price increase but it went something like

£5.98 to £6.49 to £6.99 to £7.15 to £7.39 for the base DHL delivery ( with 2 increases this week) They claim to have dropped the fuel surcharge but all they have done is just hike up their price and its included it in their base selling price .

Don't get me started on fuel surcharges when oil is almost the lowest in over 4 years .
