best way to post larger items

Hi Guys, I am still quite new to ebay and was wondering the best way to post larger items. I have just sold a rug, do you think it will be ok via royal mail?

thanks in advance

  • I've used both Royal Mail and DHL but prefer DHL for larger items as they are collected. Also my little village stores Post Office has a very limited space to store outgoing parcels.

    Wouldn't use RM for larger items as they will be expensive. Try someone like parcel2go.com or interparcel.com
  • Parcel2Go are who I use and DHL do the collections/deliveries (I think!).
  • thanks for those, the parcels to go looks really reasonable. I can't see a price guide on the dhl site though.

  • Thanks everyone for the replies to this thread. I have used parcels to go. I was really easy to use and i paid through paypal. It cost me a bit more than i thought (I guesstimated). But I am still learning about postage etc. I will know next time I list a larger item. Anyway, thanks again
