Hi

I want to list a large item on ebay but before I do it I need to cost the P&P....has anyone used this courier service? They seem very cheap.

Thanks in advance

    I have used them once with no problems, although a few people have had some problems before. Try a search for parcel2go

    Also try Pharos, who use UPS to despatch - I use them regularly and am very happy with their service.:)

  • I've booked couriers many times through parcel2go and have had no problems.
    They are very cheap and you can get an extra £1 off if you send yourself a coupon as advertised on their homepage.
    I got 2/3 day UK delivery for £7.04.

    HTH :)

    Hi, I have used Parcel2Go a few times with no problems at all. Remember to include their logo in your auction for a 10% discount and also go through Quidco or TopCashBack to get another £1.50ish cashback on top. Recommended. Julian.

    If you search for parcel2go on here you should find previous discussions with very mixed views....range from very happy to extremely unhappy. When they do the job properly, they are good value however if they dont i.e. by failing to collect then their customer service is appalling and totally unsympathetic and then you will wish you had paid a little extra to a better company. I used to use them but they missed 3 pick ups out of 7 so I went elsewhere. I had to issue a county court claim against them for my lost time waiting for collections that didnt happen. So as you can probably guess-I would never ever in a million years recommend them.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UK-NEXT-DAY-PARCEL-DELIVERY-31-KG-MAX_W0QQitemZ160048110533QQihZ006QQcategoryZ121879QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    I have mentioned this outfit before on various threads concerning courier services. They have been very reliable for me. They use DHL next day delivery.
    Weight and size limits apply - I think you can ship upto 31 kgs and max size of 120x60x60cms. Standard insurance of £100 against loss or damage. They have very good feedback and many many returning customers. Don't forget to use the booking form if you should use this service.
    Oh yeah, it costs £5.99 beat that if you can.
