Any One Know Anything About Prompt Parcels

Hello MSE Forum

I run a reasonably small ebay shop shipping up to 25 packages a week and I have been approached recently by a courier brokering company called Prompt Parcels and for the life of me have failed to find any information about them online in forums or review sites.

I was also approached by them 12 months or so ago so I know they have been around for at least a year

They have promised a very good rate for up to 10kg and up to 25kg with no volumetric weight or fuel surcharges, their sales guy not pushy in any way but I`m struggling with the adage if it seems too good to be true it probably isnt.

Can anyone enlighten me,

many thanks in advance

Peter

    Nice first post. I would give 5/10 for effort, other than that it's reasonably transparent.
  • Honestly I would like to find out more about them, I am in no way trying to promote them as you seem to think or comes across in your reply, I want to know if they are rouges or genuine, i thought i had posted as reasonable request, Thanks for nothing

    Well. I will help. They are rogues, crooks and cheats.:D
  • Thanks, I assumed as much as they seem to be a bit of a marie celeste online in regards to reviews
  • These guys are brokers, they got me a really good rate with Citylink, and so far the service has been good. They will sort out any problems on your behalf with any courier they set you up with
