Hi

I've browsed this thread but wondered if anyone could point me to a cheap company for small parcels - generaaly 1 - 2kg and dimensions max 40 x 30 x 15cm? I've seen £4.99+VAT on parcel2ship but most of the other companies have been much higher.

Thanks

If you you have a large qty to send easch week then you should be able to negotiate a deal direct with one of the courier companies. If you are 3 or 4 items a week then this will not be available to you and i think royal mail will be best for light items assuming they are not expensive light items

Anyone know of a reliable 'large item' collection and delivery outfit?
I do mean large! Plenty of man with a van places around but I need a company (probally a two man lift) to pick up an american fridge freezer that is 220cm high and wieghs nearly 300kg!

Gotta be everyones favourite myhermes for £3.49 plus vat (that even covers NI i think). They're not that fastest starter out of the blocks but bear with them and when you get to know your local collection rep its a breeze!! Send me a private message and i'll get you a 20% off your first order so you can try them.

Theres's been a lot of complaints both here and the ebay community boards abot my hermes. So I would do some research before using them

Anything around the 1kg mark its normally cheaper to use RM

Im afraid so, them americans do make them biggggg!
a 'Two man lift' normally involves 2 men an hydraulic lift/trolley and a very large van with a hydraulic tail lift.

Hmmm... for pallets, they seem like good prices. I dont know any one who's actually used them though

Hi all, I see parcel2go are offering multi (3) parcels via DHL for either £3.99 or £4.99 depending on weight but with a collection surcharge of £5 and £10 respectively. The local DHL brance is very close to me, can I deliver parcels to branch and avoid the collection surcharge?

I used www.parcelbee.co.uk for the first time on friday, parcel collected, and delivered today a great 24hour delivery for £5.99.
