So who's the cheapest now?

http://www.directparceldelivery.com/ £6 Next Day Parcelforce.

Just checked the ppwexpress website again and they've now removed the 1-2 day service so their cheapest option is now the 24 hour service at £6.95!! What on earth are they playing at?
I have already altered the P&P in my auctions to reflect the price increase from this morning and now I'm going to have to start again

Both the services are still on there, but the 1-2 day is the same price as the 24hr - strange?!

I don't like their site, it's not very user friendly and they only accept Nochex (which I don't use)

They must have just added that as it certainly wasn't there before.:question:

ppwexpress are shpowing £6.95 now on my pc, increase of £1 - do directparceldelivery still use parcelforce? i thought they had changed to citylink?

I've just used MH Direct, purchased and paid via Google checkout. Do I need to do anything else (I think I recall having to fill out two forms when I last used them) or will they just come for the parcel tomorrow?

Thanks.

I've just looked at MHdirect too - it says on ebay they are away until the 16th June - if i book a parcel for collection tomorrow will dhl come?

Just a bit confused with the holiday thing

^Oh no, I feel stupid now. I think they should do... otherwise it's stupid for them to be advertising 24 hour delivery! I know their phone system isn't working but I assume DHL will still collect?

I booked through their website which doesn't say anything about them being away so I hope they come and collect tomorrow, otherwise I'm going to have a very disgruntled ebay buyer!!!

Does it say your collection has been booked? Be warned the only problem with them being away is if DHL break something or forget to collect the parcel you will then need to speak to MH Direct as they have the account with DHL not you. But you should be ok!
