    I think for a one off pallet £49.99 is a pretty good deal, I'd be wary about anyone offering for a lot less. You might be able to get a private courier via Shiply

    Thanks I have put details on Shiply so will see what happens.
    www.etsltd.co.uk are good, I've used them for all but one of the pallets I've sent ever.

    EST quote is £134.02 ex. VAT so bit on the top heavy side, but another one tried. Thanks.

    After a fantastic recommendation here for a parcel delivery company which saved me lots of money I now need a pallet delivered.

    So far the best I have found is from Parcel Monkey at £49.99+VAT for a pallet from TR16 5HX to PO38 3NY.

    Parcel Monkey sounds fairly reasonable, but after the saving last time, I thought I would test the knowledge here to see if there is better.

    That sounds a very reasonable price for a pallet to IOW.

    There are plenty of reputable suppliers. You might try parcelsplease who will do your package for £12.50 with UPS.

  • Hi,

    Firstly thanks to anyone who replies/can help.

    I'm looking for a courier company to collect a package from Denver, Colorado USA to be delivered to the UK (London).

    Its a dress, in a box no bigger then 56x46x12 cm. Weighing 1kg.

    Any ideas or suggestions? I tried interparcel and got a quote for £114+VAT which seemed a tad excessive.

    Thanks
  • Planning to send something to Hong Kong, size within 5kg and about 40,30,10. Cheapest I could find is about 40, any others or some couriers that anybody can recommend ? Thanks !
