    I haven't used parcelhero but looking at them as potential courier. Also this month they have 10% off so a good deal if anyone is shipping at the moment.
    I'm looking to ship small parcels (19cmx19xmx26cm, 4.8kg each) to Malta and also Romania. Probably two at a time for the cost.
    Does anyone have a cheaper option than parcelhero for either of these two countries and also what percentage is VAT on top of the shipping? thanks :)

    Parcelhero look a total rip off, I'd stay clear. 10% off means nothing when there prices are 60% more expensive than everyone else lol...

    Just been in to local post office to post a small parcel to Germany - it is 9ct gold ring - nothing special really but it is to the person in Germany!
    Anyway was told I can't send gold items to Germany!
    Anyone know if I can send by courier and if so which one? I don't want to pay alot and not too bothered if it takes a few days to get there.

  • Hi. Hope you guys will be able to help me out. I've got a parcel that needs to be delivered abroad and need a service that brings their own shipping label. like parcelmonkey's parcel force does. the problem with parcelmonkey is that their website isn't working properly right now and i'm having trouble checking out/paying for the shipment. plus it's taking ages to get a response from them on the matter. So I'm looking for an alternative. Any options? Or should I just go with parcel force directly? That would be a bit costly though.

    Hi all. Looking to send about a 5Kg parcel to China. I'm thinking of trying Parcel Monkey, but are there any that are better value?

    Also, I assume the best way to get the best value is to work out the volumetric weight of the box and try and get the weight as close to the volumetric weight?

    Thanks.
