    I have to agree interparcel is a great service, I have used it for all my parcel deliveries for the last couple of years and has never failed to impress me.

    You will get exactly the same van and man come and it will be handled in the same maneer no matter where you book so if UPS is cheapest on the interparcel site go with that.

    No quite, if there is a problem/claim then Interparcel will have to sort it on your behalf ;)

    Thats true. Fortunately i havent had any problems with UPS so would not like to say wether me as Mr Kayster would have more success in a fight with MR UPS than Mr Interparcel would. If Mr Interparcel shapes up he should be able to bring more pressure to bear on Mr UPS than me as one lone voice ever could.

    Seeing as though we now really have found the cheapest contender for parcels in the market, I thought it would be nice to shift focus to pallets. I normally send parcels, but something always sells for more if you offer delivery

    P2G are going to offer cheap Pallet delivery soon "3-4 Day Pallet Delivery - Palletforce (coming soon)" so that might be interesting

    I have been quoted £19 for a box 20kgs, 60 x30x30cms.

    Thanks!
