Just in time for Christmas:)

From just £10.99 for Parcelforce 48 and £11.99 for Parcelforce 24, between the 13th and 21st of December 2006, you can have your items collected from your doorstep and then dispatched anywhere in the UK.

This means you’ll have the confidence to sell late into December as the Christmas rush hots up! But do hurry as there are a limited number of up to 1000 daily consignments available at these fantastic rates.

A 5kg parcel cost me just over £9 to send (it's a TMX Elmo - going to my niece for Christmas, plus a mobile phone for my sister). Pharos uses UPS, which is a damn sight better than Parcel Farce.

is that a contract rate or for a one off parcel

There's also parcel2go which is around £6.99 +vat for the 2-3 day service for parcels up to 25kg IIRC.

I used the DHL service (£9.99 +vat) on there last week for something I sold on eBay, and the 2-3 day service arrived the following day.

There's also discounts available if you plug them in eBay auctions.

One off parcels, only send out about 10 parcels a year

Also worth looking on Interparcel. Items under 7Kg are often cheapest via Royal Mail.

Has anyone used the ebay 'payperdrop' service? The only thing that worried me was the statement that said

"1 collection attempt, 1 delivery attempt, only.
Further collection/delivery attempts will result in additional charges."

Or is this pretty standard?

Used them and they have always been fine. It's actually a DHS van that has picked up from here.

Not sure about extra charges because someone has always been in for my deliveries.

I booked Payperdrop for some deliveries last week. A DHL van came to pick them up. I can't comment on the recipients experiences or further charges as yet!
