Cheap Parcel Delivery Official Discussion

1) Maybe from your local shops?. Ask them before they flat pack their boxes
2)Their system isnt automated,meaning you wont get your label quick enough at times. For others with stock at hand, its different. This doesnt matter so much, however for me selling computers, this matters a little and means I wait until I can weigh the PC's

maybe you could also give these guys a bell?

Remember: A good seller is not one that can provide a cheap service, but a good seller is one that handles problems well when things go wrong.

Seeing as though nothing has gone wrong with PB, its quite hard to say if they're good or bad sellers. At any rate, they are the cheapest

Hi - wheres everyone gone -is there a new thread or just nothing happening?

I've looked back quite a few pages on this thread, but most people are asking about international postage. I just need a UK to UK courier. I've listed a few items on the free day yesterday - tuner, LCD monitor, projector, CD player.

Strangely it didn't let me specify postage costs (it used to), so I didn't look up prices at the time, but now a buyer has emailed to query cost.

I'll need to courier each item (individually) to the auction winners, but can't find a decent courier. Last time I looked (year or so ago) the best rate was around £6/£7, but the only UK one I found on this thread was parcels2go, and they're going to cost me £10.50 inc VAT plus any extra insurance which seems steep.

BUT they explicity do not cover LCD monitors or projectors, so that is no good for 2 of my items regardless of cost.

Please can anyone suggest anywhere? Many thanks.

Parcel2go give you 5% discount if you put their logo in the listing, which may help you bring cost down a bit.

Dont use parcelmonkey, used them last week 1st time and the courier didnt show! Have now got a refund. I use parcel2go all the time and have never had a problem with them yet, touch wood.

You could try payperparcel and interparcel, not sure if they cover LCD though, I dont think many couriers do. Or parcelforce?

although payperparcel are useless if you have a problem, im still wating on my settlement from a claim i made in september for a damaged item!

I believe at the moment the peoples favourite is Parcel Bee, (www.parcelbee.co.uk) poor website but cheap, don't think their Terms mention anything about LCD monitors and the like.

I personally use collectmyparcel.com, a bit more expensive but never had a problem with their customer service etc.
