Low cost shipping company

[helios]

Hello guys, i'm looking for a courrier/post company to handle my parcels which i want to send to my customers, but im looking for a good price as well.

My products cost around £5-£8 so the shipping cost cant be more than £2 in the UK.

Is anybody aware of this?

Any answers much appreciated!

Without knowing the size and weight it's an impossible question.

Royal Mail OBA is the cheapest one as far as i know but depending on the volume you have, you can negotiate with any delivery companies

I usually have parcels less than 1kg of weight and really small sizes.

I tried Hermes, they charged me £2,78 for a <1kg parcel.

Have you considered setting up the equivalent of a "milk round" from scratch and doing the deliveries yourself.

Realism has to figure in your proposals.

£2.34 (+ VAT of course) on a 3 day service

I also use MyHermes. They also have the added benefit that they will pick up the parcel from you for an additional 20p or so ... so no leaving the shop and rushing to the PO and no queue's either!
On a side note, I have always found MyHermes reliable but on more expensive items I always pay for signed delivery.
