What Courier to Send a Large Parcel?
anotheruser
Posts: 3,485 Forumite
Can anyone suggest a courier that can take large parcels?
Parcel dimensions are:
63x30x62 (LxWxH - cm). Weight is around 8Kg.
I am only guessing the weight.
I looked at MyHermes but it's too big for them.
Parcel Force may be the only way but I am expecting it to be nearly £20, despite their site suggesting it would be nearer £10.
It's a computer case.
Thanks

DO NOT GUESS THE WEIGHT!!!
Courier companies fine HEAVILY for incorrect weights.
Stand on the scales, then stand on the scales holding the parcel. Subtract the first weight from the second to give the weight of your parcel.0 -
Do not involve a broker unless you really have to. I have used APC without issue for years.0

well brokers are ideal as couriers like City Link will not allow a consumer to order parcel collections direct as you have to be a business with a certain volume each month, but using a broker like parcel2go you can use Citylink0
