MyHermes quietly slipping prices up?
From memory, hasn't it gone from £3.00 to £3.10 to £3.25 Parcel Shop prices for 1 - 2 kg, in a week and a half?
Anyone know if the same is happening over at Collect+
How is a business supposed to plan, with slippery prices like this?
Also, do they think they are being cunning by incremental increases as if no-one will notice?

I think they are doing exactly what a business with a semi-monopoly and increasing demand would do.0

They aren't the only courier option though, and it's a good time for them to pick up new customers, not p*ss them off?Warning: any unnecessary disclaimers appearing under my posts do not bear any connection with reality, either intended, accidental or otherwise.

I just paid £3.99 for a small parcel with Collect Plus.
I think that's been the price for a while.0 -
They may be finding that sending more parcels is costing them more than the level they were at..0

Where are you seeing the new prices?

I didn't get mine all done last night and strangely enough when I logged in this morning I briefly saw a flash of a page showing slightly higher prices. However the main page and the stuff I am printing out is the same. I have been using it for about 6 weeks or so now with no increases at all.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

The specific category I use is parcel shop drop off 1 - 2 Kg, and unless I'm going mad, I'm pretty sure it's gone from £3.00 to £3.10 to £3.25.Warning: any unnecessary disclaimers appearing under my posts do not bear any connection with reality, either intended, accidental or otherwise.

I'm not sure what I'm thinking to be honest - I think you're right and I need an emergency coffee.Warning: any unnecessary disclaimers appearing under my posts do not bear any connection with reality, either intended, accidental or otherwise. Your statutory rights are not affected.0
