Sending Parcels - Need a company

[James W]

Hello all,

I need to send a parcel (PS3 to be exact) within 3 business working days. Am I correct in saying that leaves me until Monday to get it gone?

I'm in the Midlands (Gloucester) - So if your a local business and your struggling for trade - Give me a shout. I'd rather go to a smaller business that a larger company as long as your prices aren't extremely high.

Cheapest I've found is Royal Mail - £13.99

I'd never send anything valuable with Royal Mail Standard Parcels.

Try Interparcel....we've used them with no problems.

Any reasons why not?

They're a nightmare to claim compensation from if things go wrong. And, by the time you've paid for the insurance you're probably looking at more than £13.99.

Take a look at Interparcel...they've got good rates.

It will £11 plus VAT if booked through Boxby. It's with Interlink and if you book tonight it can be collected tomorrow and delivered before 3pm on Monday. Insured at £12 a kilo as standard, but you can increase this quite cheaply.

You can get cheaper with DHL, by probably £2 (through any of the resellers - Interparcel is one) However, if you live in a village outside of Gloucester its worth checking with the DHL website whether or not they can guarantee collection tomorrow (the resellers won't tell you this), because if they fail to collect then you'll not meet your deadline. (if you're in main towns/cities it should be fine, it more a rural area problem).

PM sent to Boxby

Asked for the payment a couple of days ago - Still no signs of the buyer actually paying.

Looks as if I'll have to keep it for now :/

Hi, Ive seen your site(looks good) but dont understand the difference between a package and a pallet?

 

[James W]

Pallet - I presume will be bulks of items.

Where as the other option is Just one box.

Ah looks as If I'll have to open up an "Un-paid for dispute" on ebay.

Doesn't look as if I'm going to get a penny...
