    Ah yes :o I eventually found LOTS of bad reviews so i'll be staying well clear of them!! Think i'll be opting for either:


    Parcel2Go.com (with £100 cover at £2.50 extra) :-

    £10.99 Parcelforce 48
    or
    £11.99 Parcelforce 24


    Or...


    PayPerParcel.com (up to £100 apparently included) :-

    £7.30 1-3 Day (DHL 48) Economy Delivery
    or
    £10.49 1-2 Day (DHL 24) Economy Delivery


    Unless any kind MSE'ers have any better ideas? :D They'd be MUCH appreciated!

    The parcel is 5.65kg; 52.7 cm x 34.3 cm x 8.13 cm

    Hi

    I know I mention collectmyparcel.com but it's only because I find them really friendly. They have DHL48 with £100 insurance for £11.55. I've heard mixed reports about Parcel2Go especially with their support. PayPerParcel's quote won't included VAT so you'll be paying £8.40 and I don't know of any DHL reseller offering more than £50 insurance included.

    Hi thanks for responding. Actually reading through this thread i had noticed you'd mentioned this site in all of your posts, so i had stayed away as i considered you to be promoting the site - apologies if this assumption was wrong.

    However, thanks for the info on the other sites - i hadn't realised about PPP's price not including VAT, however it did say up to £100 insurance included so i'm hoping tht's the case as i ended up booking with them.

    I opted for the 24hr DHL delivery in the end which cost £12.06 inc VAT.

    Thanks, Beenie

    Hi

    That's cool, don't worry about it. I used to use Discount Delivery UK until I found collectmyparcel.com
    and use Interparcel for their UPS service

    Low Con are using working and graphics taken directly (word for word) from Interparcel's website. Even the graphics are hosted by Interparcel.

    I wonder if Interparcel know?

    Shipping Manager - now P4D, I think there is a glitch on their system and the VAT is not being added. Paid via Paypal and only £6.99 was taken - invoice shows VAT at 0.00??

    They may be a new company that isn't VAT registered yet
