I've used parcel2go but tend to use payperparcel now, as they were cheaper for a long time. I've never had any problems with either of them, & is usually lots cheaper than RM I paid 6.89 for each of mine today with payperparcel

Thanks Hermum

Do you have to know the weight of the parcel? Will check them out.

Was thinking whether I should just keep them and sell them separately, will think about it some more, the tracksuits together are rather heavy and don't want to pay too much to send them back as I'm not sure whether they will pay me back for the postage (which they should really as it's their fault not mine). She did say about giving me a credit note but never said if they would pay return costs.

TMD unless you use that supplier a lot & trust them I would find a box to put them in so that they can't try saying they were damaged in the post. Couriers you can usually send 20+kg for the same price, much heavier than your returns should be.

Yes I have used them a lot over the last 5 years or so. Once they sent my order out twice so I rang up and they arranged a courier to collect it. I have a smaller box that I can put them in and will weigh it on the bathroom scales.

I do it by standing on the bathroom scales with it, much fun & hilarity with large boxes that you can't see over the top of.

Thanks

You know I hate it when I weigh something on my small scales and it's a bit big and you can't see the weight. Think our bathroom scales need a new battery but will check when the kids are asleep.

Mrscmr - is there anywhere else you could take it to sell it so that you don't have to pay fees. If your DH doesn't want it I say sell it, not sure I would be confident enough to sell something that expensive on Ebay.

Did you look at the completed items to see if any have sold recently, that will give you an idea of what you might get for it.

mrscmr

yes have sold. its a model they stopped making so rare. will look further.

i can always buy him another one .......... one day.

hermum

Have you looked to see if you can get a box for it as sometimes things like that go for more with the box don't they?

mrscmr

hermum... um sold the box last year... silly me :-(
