ParcelForce 48 prices double ?

[HES]

Has anyone noticed the UK Parcelforce48 price is now £2 per kg over 30kg, where as 2 weeks ago it was only £1 per kg over 30kg.

Or do I have this wrong. It seems a bit steep to me..

Out of weight/volume surcharges are high. DHLs are incredibly steep.

Xttp://stores.ebay.co.uk/Parcel-Market_UK-parcel-services_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ17595413QQftidZ2QQtZkm have some good rates for higher weights, never used them personally though.

Hey there, couldnt help but notice this post, one of the exact reasons i do ok locally, with some furniture and fireplace shops, though i tend to restrict myself to 150 mile radius of Manchester/Bury/Bolton.

Sameday only upto 50kg weight no extra charges, as soon as i say that peoples ears prick up alot..

Yes, this is probably right.

DHL increased substantially their prices in December and January.

The parcel market works on the basis of critical volume, and at present that volume isn't there. Therefore it's either going to be a choice of increase prices, or close distribution centres, or do both, OR, go bust.

Citylink are on track for £28m of losses this year, and that's after the "turn around" year where they've increased their customer service levels substantially over the last six months.

Don't expect delivery prices to drop this recession, the only way they'll be going is up.
