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

I can get 5& off any Dhl service via P2go with my bespoke discount code


I guess using Parceltree is STILL a bad idea from reading / skimming here ?

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

that's what I meant with my post - anything *but* DHL 48 gets 5% off with an interparcel account signup.

*everything* purchased via interparcel, including DHL 48, can get 5% cashback via a cashback site, on top of whatever discount you get with an interparcel account.

so... DHL 48 = 5% off, everything else is 10% off when using both cashback and account offers.

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 .

DHL have a monopoly on the reseller market so can & will increase prices without negative consequences. Unfortunately an increase in price does not mean a better quality service. Long term DHL realise that they can make just as much or even more profit selling the deliveries at a higher price & having less customers. It makes sense as it may boost profits & take the strain off their system. Expect to pay £10-11 for a DHL standard delivery soon. There is hope as other courier companies such as DPD now seem to be entering the reseller market offering a competitive price & better service.

I want to use Freight Search after good comments about them here, however the webiste doesn't get past Step 2!!
Freezing on the "From" and "To" destinations...

I also called them and waiting to see if anyone calls me back.

Anyone else having problems?

Just tried it now and it's working fine for me in Firefox. What browser are you using? Was it just staying on the search thingy window that pops up, if so it may be java issue.

The writing next to the required input fields is white... same colour as the website, so I had to select the whole screen to see what they wanted me to do to progress.

Browser is IE7.

All done now and booked, thank you. Await collection tomorrow....

Top work Armitage! :beer:

I just noticed I can't find any sign-up page on interparcel anymore, so I guess only old account holders can get the discount, unless you can figure out where or what the address of the sign-up page is

and to the guy who just pm'd me (and anyone else confused), the DHL 48 discount is *only* via quidco/tcb, interparcel don't give one on DHL48 with their own discount, and when they do it's only 5% off. quidco/tcb make up the other 5% on everything, other than DHL48 in which they make up the full 5% off.

IGNORE....

No probs. Still seems a little strange as this:

All required fields must be filled.
WEIGHT - invalid or not entered
COLLECTION POST CODE - invalid or not entered
COLLECTION ADDRESS TYPE - not selected
DELIVERY POST CODE - invalid or not entered
DELIVERY ADDRESS TYPE - not selected

Is all in red for me, and the writing above the post code boxes is a pale red. Anyway all sorted so no matter.;)

Edit: I got you first time on this discount Pepsi! Some people eh!
