Thanks hermum and JPS29.

@hermum I got it from the eBay discussion boards. It will cost £13.80 with them using Parcel Force.

@JPS29 It's about 40cm x 40cm x 20cm (boxed up). So I think too big for a giffy bag.

Checking Interparcel I get about £8 Hermes, £10 Yodel, £11 Interparcel Economy.

Parcel Monkey £8 City Link.

I have received items from sellers that used City Link and Hermes but got poor service. Smashed up boxes and contents 3 times with City Link, and Hermes either chucked over the garden fence or left out on the door step even though the item was worth over £100.

go inteparcel economy, UPS are the bees knees!

It seems from a post you made earlier, on this thread

"Well what do you expect? They are the CHEAPEST courier and what do you expect? They pay their employees peanuts because you pick the cheapest courier service. If you want better service then be prepared to pay MORE."

You already know the answer to your question.

What is the cheapest courier to collect items I brought on Ebay that need to be collected? (like a big TV)

And how does it work if the person wants cash on collection? do I give it to the courier man to give them? how do I know if it's in decent condition (the item)

the condition is your problem
if they want cash on collection then you hae an issue
you are looking at a man with as van set up
it also means they need to come to you,then the pick up and then to you = more cost

Hi all

I wonder if anyone could help ( apologies if already discussed but wouldn't know how to search).

I'm looking for cheap courier service that doesn't mind items not being packaged.

I'm hoping to buy from an auction the other side of the country and they don't wrap items won.

Will any courier do this? BTW It's probably going to be bags of clothes or ipods!
