Cheap Parcel Delivery Thread Mk4

creditcrunchy

Ludwip you do seem to be missing the point. I have already recommended Interparcel because of the cheap UPS service they offer but why hasn't ArmitageShanks? Why does he continue to promote some companies that have nothing to offer?

Yes there are other ways of getting the price even cheaper for all the main companies however lets concentrate on getting the main companies & best deals on the recommendation post first.

One observation about Quidco is you have to earn £5 in cashback before you are in credit so don't expect to sign up & start making savings straight away. It's definitely worth doing as you can earn cashback all over the place.

It depends on the size, weight, volume & insurance required. Check my recommendation post for the best deals.

I'm not missing your point, I just think that you're missiformming people?

Why did you recommend parcel2go as cheapest if you new Interparcel are the cheapest ones in this case? :money:

Actually Armitage was the first one who recommended this service and I informed you about it already in this post

:rolleyes:

And this was your rude reply

You really are a puppet on the end of ArmitageShanks arm. It would be useful to know how you found the service. For example was printing out the labels a hassle?

I believe you either don't read your own posts or there is more than one person posting through your MSE account :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

parcelcheap = £9.50 for DPD next day with £100 insurance,

And why parcelcheap is on your list if you are keep promoting big players not flight by night companies?

As far as I remember you were criticising Armitage for promoting Direct Parcel Distribution so why parcelcheap is still on your list? Do your words mean anything at all?

I've already told you that all the companies I recommended offer additional savings on their advertised rates, not just Interparcel. If you make use of all the additional savings Parcel2go offer then they would probably still be the cheapest. To promote this straight away may be confusing for the consumer. Also remember not every one has the time or will to make use of the promotional offers so it's still best to base value on the standard rate.

Parcel2go - £5 cashback for new orders from cashback kings. http://www.cashbackkings.com/parcel2go/bargains/m1264

Parcel2go will also give you a 5% discount code every time you advertise their logo on your Ebay auction. They also offer £5 back if you add £100 to the prepayment system.

Payperparcel will reduce the price of their DHL 1-2 day service to £7.82 if you buy 50 or more prepayment credits.

Shippingmanager offer a 2.5% discount if you pay by bank transfer so that would make the price £7.84.

Parcelcheap will reduce the price of their next day DPD service to £9.30 if you buy 2 or more prepayment credits. You can also get free credits if you buy over 30.

Yes Armitage was the first to mention this offer but why doesn't he mention it in his recommendation post?

Direct Parcel Distribution offered a poor service from the start as did PPWexpress so should never have been given so much exposure. I've used Parcelcheap for a while now & can say there has been no problems. The customer service is good & they offer the cheapest UK price for a guaranteed next day delivery. I've never seen anyone else complain about the service they offer.

I hope this makes it clear for you Ludwip as it's all getting a bit repetitive. It doesn't make sense that Armitageshanks remains biased to companies that offer the consumer nothing, that's my point.[FONT=&quot]

It's only one time saving, not for someone who use their services more than once. I.e. every month or every week

just as you said not every one has the time or will to make use of the promotional offers or bother to place the code on eBay auctions

This method is a little bit complicated I would say. Especially for someone who doesn't use online banking

Don't know much about DPD but I don't think you have ever booked with PPWexpress therefore you are not in position to compare PPW with Parcelcheap. I met Paul Harrison the Director of PPW in person actually. They had two landlines and three girls in their customer service team. I knew their exact address and company details. Parcelcheap is ghost company with no address no contact phone number, even no T&S or Privacy Policy just the website, their website domain is registered in States so is the server. I don't think it's going to take long before Trading Standards chase them for not complying with Distance Selling Regulations

Parcel2go are similiar to PPWexpress in one way - they also offer prepayment system and DHL services so maybe just as PPW they can go bust any time. Who knows as their services are not very competitive any more? Especially if compared to Interparcel UPS economy, P4D DHL and Shippingmanager also DHL

I'm glad you understood that point. Unlike the other companies Shippingmanager offer the chance to save money just by using a different payment method & that's why I have mentioned it. For the majority who use online banking it's very simple to send over a bank transfer so is worth considering if you want a 2.5% discount. Don't forget P4D & Shippingmanager allow greater volume than Parcel2go & Interparcel.

Maybe you should start reading this thread more. If you've forgotten they left customers with uncollected parcels & huge Fedex bills!

I've used a majority of the companies (excluding Direct Parcel Distribution) so make judgment based on my experience. Did knowing PPWexpress's address or phone number stop customers from losing money? Didn't they just close down their business, phone numbers & disappear. The only person that seemed to maintain contact with Paul Harrison was ArmitageShanks. Coincidentally exactly the same happened when Direct Parcel Distribution disappeared. I would say this is a conflict of interest. Maybe you could tell ArmitageShanks all you know about PPWexpress & help him get some of his money back considering you seem to know them so well.

I have Parcelcheap's address & phone number so your comments are inaccurate. A list of Terms & Conditions & Privacy policy did not help the victims of Direct Parcel Distribution or PPWexpress. As you seem to be an expert on Distance Selling Regulations maybe you can advise all the victims who lost money & actually bring something of use to this thread. If you had any sense you wouldn’t rely on a list of Terms & Conditions, usually a company will use them against the consumer anyway. My advice is use your common sense, communicate with the company & never give out credit card details. I'll say again that i've used Parcelcheap for a while without any problems. It's irrelevant where a web server/domain is registered, most of the best servers are in America.

Parcel2go are the largest DHL agent in the UK. Unlike PPWexpress they offer consistently good service & are a legitimate seller. As I've already shown Parcel2go are currently the cheapest for a standard DHL delivery. Interparcel also offer a good service as do all the companies I have recommended.

The common links between previous rogue companies are poor service, no insurance payouts & poor communication when things go wrong, not a prepayment system.[FONT=&quot]

I'm just fed up with keep posting same info all the time.

It's like talking to the wall.

You don't even read your own posts but never mind and good luck with promoting your business my poor little Creditcrunchy :money:

Some good news regarding Direct Parcel Distribution Ltd;

I've just received a full refund from them for a parcel collection that was booked before Xmas but never happened, so it does seem that they are making a genuine effort to sort things out and are presumably working their way through the claims.
If you're one of those still waiting, don't give up just yet - keep checking your emails. Good luck.
