  • Just started selling again on ebay, what has happened to all the cheap parcel delivery people, there are no listings. (ebay pushed them off?).

    Has anyone got any recommendations for 2 day service 30kg 60 x 60 x 60cm

    Any discount codes would be much appreciated...who are the new kids on the block?

    Hi, collectmyparcel.com - up to 30Kg, 60 x 60 x 60, £7.45 + VAT (£8.75).
  • Google is a bit of a mine field, and the price you see advertised is almost impossible to get. surcharges and not enough volume etc.

    Interparcel seems to be the old player with a good price.
    HDN £5.95 plus vat but still got surcharges.

    Smart Courier HDNL £6.49 plus vat no surcharges

    HDN seem to be the cheapest on a 2 day service., is there anyone else out there offering it

    Would really appreciate it if someone could recommend a courier that that offers reasonably priced insurance for items up to £1000. The item concerned is about 8.5 kg in weight and 49.5 x 31 x 28 cm and is being sent within the UK mainland.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, what is the item that you're sending. Not all carriers cover every item...

    May I ask what materials your sculpture is made from? As some couriers won't post certain types of material
  • Another vote for shiply, if it can not be sent by the main parcel carriers then shiply would be best, expect to pay more but you will have a personal service and you need that for fragile items.
