Yesterday I used the print in store machine for Hermes. The price hasn't changed. I was charged £2.95, same as before.

Thanks. the link now states "Pay and print your label in seconds, from as little as £2.26" so they maybe a change in next update. i keep expecting it to change as its such a good offer and much better than anyone else.

Yes, I was expecting it be less than £2.95.
Unless that pay and print from £2.26 refers to printing your labels at home?
The print in store works out cheaper if the parcels are over 2kg, which mine was. I have another one to post today or tomorrow. I think I will do a dummy one at home to compare.

£2.26 is for Myhermes version of large letter = postable.


When sending your postable parcel, it's important that it meets the following size guidelines: max length 35cm, max width 23cm and max depth 3cm (min depth 1cm).

Some people are now being charged £4.05 print in store. I think they must still be rolling out the prices changes to stores.

Sent a parcel with hermes print and go this morning and can confirm the new prices are being used was £4.05 to send a parcel that was between 1kg and 2kg would have been cheaper using royal mail
The cheaper print and go prices were good while they lasted but its back to royal mail for me for anything under 2kg

Oh dear! I listed some stuff weighing over 2kg finishing in the next few days. Thought it will cost me £2.95 so I charged £3.40 taking into account the ebay & paypal charges.

The print and pay in store has gone up hugely. I went to do a parcel today and it would have been cheaper to use Ebay Shutl.

It was good while it lasted, looks like I won't be using that service again as none of the options appeared cheaper than Ebay Shutl at a quick glance.

I was surprised that it was cheaper to pay in store rather than via pre-booking.

Edit: The sub 1kg looks interesting with a depth of 3cm and up to 1kg at £2.26. Reasonably often I have a large letter that is just that tiny bit too big to fit as large letter and it really aggravates me I have to pay parcel price for being 1 or 2mm over the 2.5cm large letter depth......

Another edit: I am now going to have to use Royal Mail for 1-2kg parcels as their price is £2.90 (maybe £3.00) for up to a 2kg parcel whilst Hermes is now charging £4.05 for a 1-2kg parcel, Hermes are still slightly cheaper for under 1kg parcel. You can get RM Signed For with £50 insurance cover for £4 !!!
