    Parcel2Go seem pretty good though, especially if you go via Greasy Palm, you can get £1.00 cash back and a 10% discount making a parcel upto 25kgs £8.51 on a 2 - 3 day service. i booked a collection at 8.45 on the internet this morning, paid via Paypal - very convienient - and the parcel was collected at 2.15pm this afternoon.

    Trying hard to save money and trying to help friends do the same by finding the real "Moneysaving" bargains and avoiding companies that take my custom for granted.

    Not tested as discovered after last order. I prefer Parcel2Go as they use DHL, which i've found more reliable than Parcel Force. Its £8.99 plus VAT, so I think about £11. Minus discount of course.

    D0606 doesn't seem to give any discount on my order of £11.97.

    Using discount code 'greasy' gained me 10% off.

    You can get £2 cashback with parcel2go and quidco, but I would avoid P2G. They were supposed to pick up on Friday but didn't bother. That really is causing me a lot of trouble. I don't know if it was their fault of DHL's. I'm not keen on either.

    i have used parcel2go alot recently...however i will not use them again. Twice they had failed to pick up. I called them and they promised they would call be back...3 times they promised and dint return the call---bad customer service.

    It took 4 days for one parcel to be collected. P2Go get alot of bad reports on eBay forums, avoid them if you can.

    I find parcel2go a good value if you take the parcel yourself to the nearest depot. This may not be practical for many, but for those for whom it is it may be the best solution because: a) you know for sure the parcel is on its way when you drop it off at the depot and get the manfiest ; and b) you vastly reduce the liklihood that you'll need to phone p2g customer service which ONLY is accessible by 0870 number and usually requires substantial time on hold as the meter ticks.
  • If they dont pick up its likely to be DHL's fault. Unless Parcel2Go didnt tell them to pick up. Parcel2Go does nothing more than pass on the order to DHL.

    I have never had probs with P2G. Used them last month, and they were spot on.
