Cheap Parcel Delivery Official Discussion

Hi, can anyone advise me please? I need to send a box, 10kg, 80x54x15 cm, but I absolutely need it to be collected Tomorrow. I'm going abroad next week, so it has to be done before the weekend. Can you recommend someone reliable? I read so many bed reviews of couriers not showing up.

The few times I have used City Link/ParcelMoney they have turned up when they say. Not sure there is 100% guarantee, unless you use a high street shop/post office and take it in yourself.

The best are https://www.streetwisedeliver.com, however for your parcel they aren't cheap, not a rip off but not cheap at £14.39

Cheaper than the Post Office anyway

I'd look at GWizz for both these. http://www.gwizzcouriers.co.uk/

I have looked at parcel monkey for box dimensions for UK delivery

72 * 62 * 61 (CM). Box weight = 15kg

Cheapest I have been able to get is £8.98. I send about 4 boxes like these every week so would love to be able to reduce this. I have considered Yodel but they have an absolute rubbish customer service if anything goes missing..

I would be grateful for any tips on how I can reduce the costs as I am OK with an up to 3 day delivery.

Many thanks in advance

£9 is pretty reasonable for that. To try getting it even cheaper try contacting your local Tuffnells Express depot, or your local APC overnight depot, they might be able to help, or then again, they might just laugh in your face. You can but try.

Open an (pre-pay) account with DespatchBay. ParcelForce 48 hour delivery £5.65+VAT. There is a collection surcharge of £1.95 for parcels though. There are codes for discounts on sign-up too (have a search on the vouchers board).
