Cheapest way to send a package in the UK

CGJIllman

Hi all,
Wasn't quite sure which thread this fitted in so let's try here :-)

I'm looking for the cheapest way to send parcels around UK destinations. I'll be sending about 5 cases of wine out each week for the foreseeable future and am looking for low cost alternatives to the Post Office, even if they take a little longer to get there.

Anyone have any ideas or is the Post Office or big fulfilment companies like Fedex the cheapest way?

Cheers!
Chris

I use my hermes via inter parcel (they're great as they give you various companies/options/prices)

Definitely worth shopping around especially with all the click and collect/drop off outlets nowadays. The last thing I sent was going to be more than £20 with anyone I have used before, but it cost about £6 with Hermes.

I've used parcel2go recently. https://www.parcel2go.com/ Try getting prices and checking restrictions.

Not used them, so can't comment on them.

I was going to suggest the same I've used them a few times and found it to be good.

me too - you would need to check the restrictions though as glass items may not be covered by some couriers.
