I have also added a Label Section to the 1st post, removed WWS and listed some online packaging stores (Both eBay and Non-eBay)

Thanks for your hard work Jake

A couple tips:

Board Back Envelopes:

I find Viking Direct to be the cheapest.

e.g. 241 x 178mm (9 1/2" x 7") is currently £15.26 (Inc VAT) for a box of 125.

Although that's 27p dearer than what you have listed for SVP, if you buy over £30 worth of stuff you get free next day shipping. On top of this they frequently (2 or 3 times a year) have these envelopes on a buy 2 get one free offer.

Return Address Labels:

Able labels do 1000 white return address labels (up to 6 lines of text) for £4.95 + £1.95 shipping.

Hi Jake

Great post, thank you.

Any idea why Kevin the courier seems to be limiting his £3.99 purchases? I bought one last week and just tried to buy another and Ebay wouldn't let me - I got a message saying that the seller had put restrictions on the purchasing of that item.

2 of the Couriers are currently not offering services but i have left them in in case they start them again.

I used a Parcelforce reseller about a year ago but they got stopped when Parcelforce found out. Anyone found this to be the case too? BTW 2 of the couriers above have completely empty stores/listings at the moment. Saved this useful list anyway.

I'm guessing that's the two Jake was refering to in the post above yours where he says "2 of the Couriers are currently not offering services but i have left them in in case they start them again."
