    OP

    Looking at I bidder it seems that most auctioneers have their own couriers and rules.

    This one for instance

    http://www.i-bidder.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/timed/hertfordshire-auctions/catalogue-id-ibhe10195

    Packing and Shipping policy
    We will usually include packing and shipping on your invoice unless you are local or overseas. Should you not require packing & shipping and are planning to collect items personally, we will remove this from your invoice when you collect your lots within the prescribed timeframe.
    We do not allow other couriers to collect from us due to the huge volume of packages being sent.
    Any other couriers arriving without specific arrangements will be turned away.
    We CANNOT ship widescreen TVs, Liquids, China, Pictures & Paintings and certain other fragile items. Buyers will need to make their own arrangements for these.

    The parcel will be roughly 22 - 25kg.

    I was thinking of myhermes and checked parcel2go.... seems prices are pretty good for the weight.

    When I've used the myhermes site, it makes it clear they only accept up to 15 kg, so they'd probably refuse to lift your parcel.


    If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?

    Avoid Parcel Monkey like the plague. They left me high and dry when CityLink went in to administration I had to perform an 800 mile round trip to do their job for them :mad:

    Dont forget to tell your seller that they will have to be in all day from 8am til 7 pm... that might put them off.
