When I try to sign up with the code, they say you have to ship 50 parcels a month minimum to join.
Truth? I'm closer to five (above Royal Mail minnow size)! Do people fib or is this offer strictly for biz?

I guess people do "fib" but I guess they'd be within their rights to close your account if you were sending below the minimum. Although I recently went back to using them and was quite upfront about the fact I'm only sending 5 to 10 per week at the moment, and they didn't murmur, so I guess there's a bit of flexibility. (I do expect volumes to increase back up though).

Hi all,

Does anyone know a good web broker could do cheap Parcelforce service to China/Hong Kong? I am going to be sending about 15 packages of 7kg items (45x25x25cm) every month

Previously I used Thepackagedeliverycompany but it's now gone.

Thanks

Be aware that 60x60x60 is volumetrically charged as a 44KG Parcel by many carriers.

I wouldnt want to touch Yodel, but if you ship a true 10KG parcel, then Interparcel charge £8.39 for UPS which is a very high quality service.

If anyone can beat this for 10KG next day via premium carriers like DHL Express, UPS or Citylink, let me know...

Discount code tweet01 for 10% off at ipostparcels.com would beat this.

Also you get 25% off for further parcels on the same collection.

The only problem i have with ipostparcels is they only offer email contact, i only use companys i can call on the phone if needed . i belive that as a customer you should allways have the option of speaking to a human if needed.

Hi,
New to sending to China. I have a dress to return and would like some advice about the cheapest way to do this and also about customs forms. The company I'm returning to are not being very helpful, the dress is awful and this is the only way to recoup some of my money.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Sorry if l am reading this wrong....have you looked at Royal Mails ParcelForce as they often have 15% discount for international bookings and you can get £3 cashback PER booking you make via Top Cashback (£45 cashback per month would be nice)

The problem is RM's parcelforce is very expensive to start with no matter how much cash back
