    Hi,

    I wanted a self assembly box to put a collectible teddy in for Ebay! I had bought one for the other teddy I sold and thought it was a bit expensive. So I was in poundland and found 2 small ones for £1 and then a local DHL office had opened up at the end of my road. They had only been open 2 weeks so sold me one of the boxes for only a £1 too. I was very happy!

    Hi all! I've sold something on ebay for more than expected (£85 - I expected £20) :j but I've only quoted £7.00 for P&P. The item weighs 2.6kg boxed and measures 32cm x 27cm x 19cm. I've looked at myhermes, parcels2go, parcel monkey and parcels please and the cheapest appears to be myhermes at £8.21 with up to £100 insurance.

    Has anyone seen any other offers, or am I just going to have to swallow the loss?!:cool: (OK, so it's only £1.21, but...... well, you know!)

    Collect+ ? Parcels 30x30x50cm up to 5kg for £4.99 + £1.00 for extra insurance. Think I've got that right:)

    hope someone can help ;) i need two items collecting(velux window and flashing kit) and dimentions are 124cm x 131cm x 17cm weight 50kg . the other parcel is 175cm x 50cm x 12cm at just 8kg in weight . its the 50kg parcel thats the cruncher as i cant find a quote less than £50 and that was from gwizz .
    its odd as i had a much heavier item(fridge freezer) collected and delivered last year by gwizz for £27 so why is this velux window so expensive . would phoning gwizz get me a cheaper quote than the online quote i got or is there a cheaper company out there !

    Your comment helped me finally decide with which company I will go.

    Thanks
