  • Does anyone know of any cheap courier that will collect oversize parcels?
    Ebay sellers have got good deals for the weight aspect, but small dimensions.
    I have a parcel that is long and wide...but not very heavy.
    When life throws you lemons...put them in a gin and tonic !!

    What sizes did you see? I had a quick look but didn't notice there was a restriction. I need to send a few large suitcases should be under 30kg. :confused:
  • A small tip, Use your bathroom scales to measure big things and kitchen scales for small things.
  • I used bargains-and-logistics on ebay to collect and deliver a parcel and that went fine. However, they had none listed the next time so I used Selective2007.

    A word of warning stay clear of Selective 2007. Feedback suggests when they collect its fine but when they don't you can't get hold of them and their fail to respond to emails. Even after numerous emails and a dispute through Paypal asking for a refund I have had no response.

    I used selective2007 and I must not fault them in any way, they picked up as and when requested, the parcel was taken by DHL, and it arrived next day. I had asked for a 2 day delivery service as I knew which day the recipient would be in so I was surprised to have it arrive the day after! The lady from DHL collecting the parcel said that it would stay in DHL hands until it arrived at it's destination, so I think there is very little chance of losing your stuff. Read their feedback and decide for yourself, everyone will have their own experience, but I would like to reassure you that mine was excellent.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].
