Cheap Parcel Delivery Official Discussion

For UK parcels you could try Fastway - you buy "stamps" in advance but for up to 5kg within their network (most of the UK) the cost is £4.95 plus VAT. This is not a special offer but their normal terms. Full track and trace and next day delivery.

lol. Fastway are proper couriers despite jojojo's comments(Many would call them a spammer since its their second post since 2003 ). Ive had an item delivered from them to my house, but I wouldnt use them myself after I googled and saw some reviews about them.(I lie, a friend told me to steer clear ) They do seem pretty cheap though, but arent really good on compensation

My delivery was not at all next day delivery, but three days delivery. When I contacted them, I didnt get a reply at all

Thought i would take look at the new thread and there are a lot of posts all of sudden from relatively new members who have suddenly felt the urge to say how wonderful ACME parcel company are. I think its a bit like the yellow pages where its alphabetical and you get the AAAAA Taxi co choosing their name to get a listing ahead of the AA taxi co only here they are all trying to get their "recommendation" in first by time on first few pages.
I would treat some of these reccomendations with caution, it isnt difficult to spot a spammer.

you dont think Im a spammer do you?

Kayster

No - not a spammer in my opinion. You look like someone looking for advice and posting useful information when you find something out.
PS its Bananadoo not Banadoo.

anon_ymous

Well, searching banadoo on google links me to bananadoo's site-I didnt pay attention to the name much And yes, they dont give any compensation at all on computers. I am wanting some sort of compensation in case a part breaks, especially as places like ppp give a better deal

is there anyone i can use to collect and deliver lighter packages, these discussions all seem to be about larger boxes, mine are all light weight craft items, not delicate at all. I post many a week, this week so far have spent £75 on postage via 1st class royal mail at the post office. Is there any companies out there that have an arrangement whereby they will collect from me say once twice a week all my pkts and deliver them, or is there only these options for bigger parcels?? royal mail are a joke, takes ages to get there despite first class and so many have gone missinbg lately its a joke??
any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
