Best courier service to use?

appleblossom

I need to return something that I bought on ebay, seller originally sent it RM and it cost £14 (paid £23), I think it would be cheaper to send it back by courier - can anyone recommend a good and reasonable courier service to use? thanks

I have used parcel 2 go in the past and they are reasonable as long as your item fits within their dimensions and they charge around £8 for them to collect it from you and deliver it to a location within the UK and you just complete all the details online and they also accept paypal

Their are some £1 vouchers off delivery somewhere on their site also

If you have got a staples near you they have a courier service and its very resonably priced starting at £8

ok, really really stupid Q here!! parcel 2 go says parcels must be less than 25kg (fine, can weigh it on bathroom scales) and less than 4 cubic feet - how do I measure that bit? the items have arrived in 2 boxes each are 20" x 11" x 7", I ob. need to make them into one box (parcel tape at the ready), am I within their limit or not? (times like this I wish I listened more at school lol)

Oh Julie i wish i could help but unfortunatly i must of gone to the same maths lessons lol i hope you get your answer .......Just doing a rough guess tho i would say if you tape them both together you would be within the 4 cubic feet as i think there are 48 inches in 4 ft so your biggest measurment is 20 inches so 2 times 20 is only 40 inches ...i may be wrong and i am sure someone will correct me
