Urgent!! collect plus - size of jiffy bag?

Options
Hi
Urgent help plz!

Ive wrapped up a few parcels after phoning collect plus on saturday - have to post items out this morning on way to work.

I'm sure the man saids size can be 50x30x30 and i thought this applied to jiffy bag size too so have taped together some jiffy bags to make this size.

Just went to print out labels and the size dimensions seem to be for parcels....don't want parcels to get stuck or have to pay extra! would rather do it now!

Anyone know? many thanks in advance

  • From their website:

    The "Jiffy bag (up to 2kg)" option is valid for parcels wrapped in Jiffy bags or padded envelopes and weighing under 2kg only.

    Parcels must not weigh more than 10kilograms nor exceed dimensions of 30 centimetres x 30 centimetres x 50 centimetres and must have a Label attached.

    Doesn't seem to specify when a jiffy bag becomes a parcel iykwim!

  • There are actually no definite parcel restrictions, as if the shop accept the parcel (which is at their own digression) it will pass through the Yodel network as normal

    With parcel to go they dont warn you that it needs to go in a jiffy bag - you just enter the dimentions and away you go - ive given different sized boxes to the GT news for the 4 quid price.
