    Parcel2Go are useless. Look at this:

    https://www.parcel2go.com/tv

    Note how they still have the "free parcel" offer popping up, even though it expired last month. No doubt that will drag in a few customers...

    I found their customer service to be very poor when I made a booking with them.

    It doesn't work for me. Just attempted a test booking and after entering TVFREE the final amount didn't change...
  • Is that by any chance because you've used it before with the same email? It's working fine for me using a 10minutemail.

    hermes is cheaper than parcel2go for hermes pickups.

    No I've not used the email before (or address). Entering TVFREE in the promotional box and clicking apply has no effect on the price, it simply proceeds to the final payment screen at the full price.

    Maybe because they can't access other couriers directly, or for others it's cheaper to?

    There is more the one courier company in the UK you know.

    Hermes have just slashed standard compensation from £50 to £25 starting on the 22nd of July.

    After doing so much to win customers from royal mail and Collect + they go and hand them right back.

    Still works for me,

    "Congratulations! Your code TVFREE is saving you up to £5.00 against your first parcel!"

    Not quite totally free, as the original cost was £9.

    But their customer service is a bit poor. Web chat only, and slow. Not willing to give another code for the expired ones even though the codes are still showing on the site. Even the MSE link on the main page still says free first parcel. on THEIR site. Sigh... /*rant over */
