Cheap Parcel Delivery Official Discussion

Hi, I think you'd need to use a "by Air" service and not "by Road" service to get it there in time. Which country are you sending to?

I used these to have a parcel delivered containing a light fitting with shades packed separately. The light fitting was snapped, and MyHermes won't accept any responsibility because it was packed with glass lamp shades - even though they were packed totally separately and the package was marked fragile. The lamp shades were broken too - but I didn't intend to claim for these. I'd avoid this company.

Ive had some parcels recently from hemes too and one took about 2 weeks to get to me, whilst another two was ripped packaging.. not good

I used tnt via interparcel and item was collected/del in 24hrs (great) and contained glass.. ie the bulbs one was broke.. imo never send glass
none of them insure except i think royal mail.

Hello, I've recent printed approx 25 t-shirts which will be posted to different countries, I've looked around online but there doesn't seem to be very much information regarding a cheap courier which ships seperate parcels surprisly as theres so many t-shirt sellers.

Looking at royal mail it'll be around £3 for standard and £7 for signed for, but they've already lost 3-4 of my parcels before so I'm not sure it's a good thing to stick with them even if they are the "cheapest delivery method for under 5kg"

Each shirts parcels are around 200-250grams packed in a plastic parcel bag and there'll be around 25 parcels, what will be a reliable and cheap-ish way?

Thanks.

I think Royal Mail we will be the only way to be honest. Not the answer you were after...

I had 2 parcels collected by HDNL today booked through parcel2go. Deliver driver was friendly and helpful. I had to book another much larger and heavier parcel through parcel monkey with City Link. I can't believe the driver claims to have gone to another house in a nearby town. There isn't a road of the same name in the nearby town (although there is a similar named road), the postcode would be different and our house has a name and a number. I am really unhappy. PM have booked again for tomorrow but I booked today because the OH works from home so I wouldn't have to worry about the school run times.I am really cross with city link but I have to say PM rebooked really quickly so no complaints there. The joys of selling on Ebay!

HI all, new to the forums but not new to the site, been saving for a while!

I have recently bought a new bed on ebay and need it couriered from luton to scotland. I am looking for a courier to deliver 150kgs of boxes that measure up to 200cms.

From reading on here my best bet is shiply so I will put an add in. Most pallet delivery services are up to 120cms so does anyone have any suggestions which courier to use as i have no experience of sending larger and heavier items. The details of the boxes are below:

Box dimensions:
180 x 110 x 25 - 63kg
200 x 30 x 20 - 17kg
180 x 140 x 25 - 40kg
90 x 25 x 25 - 10kg
120 x 80 x 20 - 19kg

thanks in advance, allan

You could try www.boxby.co.uk also (same style as Shiply). I think these will be the cheapest option to get them all delivered together.
