Which services does Play.com use for delivery?

I am sorry this is a bit off topic. But this is the only online forum delicated to online shopping that i know of. And there isn't a section that fit this in.

On their help section they state first class. Do they use Royal Mail?

And something on topic........ any discount code. :P

Yep Royal mail for most stuff.

Parcelforce for larger/heavier items.

No codes I'm afraid, they are very rare (every 6 months or so). There was a recent £5 newspaper offer but that's expired now.

I had a large books order delivered from Play.com by DHL.

I have only ever ordered DVDs from them and they come individually packed through Royal Mail (even if they were ordered together).

I use play.com for xmas present ordering and they always send the items individually. AFAIK it's to get round the customs regulations, each parcel has to be worth less than £18 to avoid tax (that's my understanding anyway).

I find that individual packaging means that CDs and DVDs fit through the letter box which is much more convenient than having to sign for a parcel or trek to some depot to collect it.

Normally all orders are split up and sent individually but my book order arrived with all the books in the one package from DHL.
