Just as it says on the tin. I received this email, it's no use to me as I send 1st class small packets but if you want to use some other service for larger packages I thought it might help:

As the Royal Mail looks likely to strike this week, on Thursday 4 October and Friday 5 October we intend to reduce the rate of our 2-4 day service for these 2 days to £4.99 to assist businesses in ensuring their small items can still be sent during this difficult period.
You do not need any special discount codes during these 2 days and orders can be made by going to http://www.parcel2go.com/service.aspx?serviceid=87 We will carry up to 4 cubic feet and 25kg at this price for these 2 days only.

It's a shame they can't offer this price all the time.

I assume the £4.99 would be plus v.a.t.?

Don't forget to add the VAT (£5.86)
Still a cheaper service on eBay for £4.00 (Item number: 260165042115)

Your not allowed to have links (https://www.payperdrop.eu/) to take the sales off eBay.

Otherwise no seller would be using Buy It Now's as we would all just have Classified Ad's (which are Free till next year) with links to our websites.

Or am I missing something??

Classified ads free? Am I missing something, mine cost about £13?
