Just received this-

Price Change Effective Today for 0-1kg Parcels
As of today, Monday 5th October, the price for sending a 0-1kg parcel using myHermes ParcelShops is £2.17 (Ex VAT) or £2.60 (inc VAT). This price still includes £25 compensation and is effective immediately.

Kind regards

Now cheaper than Royal Mail by 20p!

Right enough, I've booked a couple of parcels this morning and haven't even noticed that! thanks for that

I was a bit surprised when my parcels were charged at £2.60 this morning. I even checked the MyHErmes home page and it wasn't showing any discount- so it's nice to know it is official.

Yes, received the email too this morning from MyHermes.

A good deal for light parcels, as long as you have access to a printer and there's a drop-off point nearby. Collection by a MyHermes driver used to be 20p extra

Yes, but RM price of £2.80 is for items up to 2kg.

Indeed, but not a comparable product as it isn't with POD.

The problem with many of my items is size not weight but I use a mix of both RM and MyHErmes. the RM size restrictions are no good for anything chunky.

When I got the email, I thought it was going to be a price rise.

It was a nice suppose to get a small reduction

I just don't know whether to switch the majority of my parcels across to MyHermes (I always offer RM as an option for those who don't like MyHermes)

Hermes drivers always seem to look like they've just got out of prison, postie has proper uniform and proper van.

Just because they have a uniform with a logo on and a corporate van doesn't magically mean that they never lose or damage an item. I really can not believe a company the size of Royal Mail can not offer tracking as standard on at least small packets and above. Instead you have it disappear into a black hole and hope it eventually arrives.

When I've used them myhermes they just seem to leave things on the footpath, and then refuse to pay up, tracking seems hit and miss and their delivery drives just seem to use overloaded old estate cars, but perhaps I've just been unlucky?
