Cheap Parcel Delivery Thread Mk4

[Deleted User]

two days ago I ordered a parcel collection and delivery through collectmyparcel.com. I used DHL 48 hour at home with £250 insurance. The parcel weighed 8kg and was large ie a bike frameset in a box and in another outer box. I had my fingers crossed as this was the cheapest I could find anywhere

Collection went smoothly and already the parcel is delivered and signed for. Absolutely brilliant service and only cost £15.50

I was nervous re dhl bit I needn`t have been

Hi,

First Post but been reading this thread for a while after Freightsearch.com lost their rates (which was a damn shame as it was really easy and reliable and they where decent guys to boot).

Got a call from a guy named Anish Aggarwal yesterday offering rates of £4.99 + VAT for any parcel to the UK under 30kg Volumetric Weight and under 195cms in length using a sub acccount through Business Post.

Anybody else got a call from him, or is anybody else using this service? this is the message he sent with the details:

============================================

It was good to speak with you today.

I have included a summary of our conversation below, and the rates we are able to offer you:



[SIZE=+0]Summary of UK Account Rates - Through Businesspost (As A Sub-Account) [/SIZE]

• [SIZE=+0][/SIZE][SIZE=+0]
• Parcels less than 30kg with volumetric weight of less than 30kg - £4.99+VAT per parcel, on a guaranteed next working day service within mainland UK through businesspost.
• Guaranteed next working day service within mainland UK, full tracking up front
• Parcels over 30kg - simply add 30p per kg
• Price is based on higher of actual or volumetric weight (vol weight is calculated by dividing by 6000 as discussed)
• Your own account number directly with the carrier, as well as all relevant telephone numbers etc
• Software: We will also set you up with your own software/bookings and labelling system - you are in full control
• Maximum length of parcels = 195cm
• Fuel surcharge: reduced to 2%
• Payment method under this structure: Fortnightly invoicing, payment within 7 days.
• [SIZE=+0]Exactly the same as you having your own account directly with the carrier, except you are added on as a 'sub-account' to our consolidated preferential rates, hence obtain cheaper rates than going direct. The only difference is that we invoice you instead of the carrier.[/SIZE][/SIZE]

[SIZE=+0]If you are happy with the above, please simply let us know and we will send you a contract for your review/signature. To do this, we will need your full trading address, full collection address (ie. where all your collections will happen from) and your contact tel no. Once we receive a signed copy of your contract back from you, we will initiate the process of setting up your sub-account with businesspost, which takes around 3-5 working days. We will then arrange a time for a mutual Couriers Express/ Businesspost representative to come and see you to implement the software and show you the entire bookings process in person. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+0]If you have any problems or queries, please let me know.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+0]Kind Regards[/SIZE]

Kind Regards

Hi,
Where has everyone gone? It's taken more than a month to fill this page of the Thread (nomally 7 pages are filled every month). And, there appeares to have been only one question replied to, in the last month.

Armitage and his mates away???

Suppose it's a bit pointless asking any questions at the moment then!
