parcel delivery service

Hi all, new to the forum and seeking some advice.

i run a sports supplement company, things have been going well and now i want to branch out and set it up as a web business, which means i'm going to need to use a regular parcel delivery service.

i've had a look at the article but it seems more geared to one off items rather than having an account with a company, so does anyone have suggestions as to which company i should go with and what type of deal i should be aiming for?

i predict i'll be sending 20-50 parcels a week weighing between 500g and 5kg, hopefully this will increase in 3-4 months.

Thanks

    If you went with RM you could use Smartstamp and order daily collections from you're local office.
    You sound a bit small for a business account at present, and I think a meter account wouldn't save you much money.

    TNT are good, dont really damage anything Ive sent over past 5 years. Otherwise for 1 off parcels, I use https://www.interparcel.com for small packages.
    Kind Regards
