Hermes parcel size

moonpenny

Can someone tell me what the maximum parcel size is for Hermes small parcel up to 1 kg £2.79?

Is it same as RM or does it just go on weight now?

Check the site carefully as they have a few restrictions as well , more so than RM.

The parcel size though for printing instore is different again and very generous.

All the info is about max sizes - it doesn't mention sizes at all for small.
The parcel I want to send is 22 x 22 x 31cm high and comes in at just under 1kg (no restricted items)
I print my own labels and drop off at local parcel shop and send with MyHermes ( not parcel2go etc)
If it was the old sizes I would have to go up to the next level of £3.99 which I am trying to avoid

Really patronising answer!
The post you quoted is talking about "parcel2go" and "print in store". I don't want either.
All these different ways of shipping have different options of sizes / weights.
For instance (I think on Parcel2go)the measurements for small parcel size are still set at the old sizes the same as RM.
I know that Hermes changed this last year.
I take it that there is just an overall max size now and everything just goes on weight

I'd just use the calculate price option (link posted above) and see what turns up for your parcel.

Thanks soolin
When Hermes last changed the weights / sizes, like you, I am sure I came across the relevant info somewhere but where???

It will teach me a lesson to print things when I come across them in future.

No, it isn't like that. You can't have followed to the second link.



The second one gives the current rule and actual size limits.
P2G don't have a different ruleset for Hermes they are just reselling (brokering) under the same rules.



"Previously, myHermes pricing was set by weight only. Now that prices on parcels up to 2 kg are based on size instead. That means if you have a parcel of up to 2 kg, you’ll get either a ‘Small’ or ‘Medium’ parcel rate, depending on it’s size."
