Shipping options for parcels

[beaver34]

Hi all,

the company i work for sells alot of items that are slightly too big for the Royal Mail packet system and we would like to find another solution are offer cheaper postage to the end user

wanted to know who you guys use or any idea's one where to be looking

the items are 700x500mm and 20mm high weighing around 1.6kg on average and we currently sell around 500 of these per month, which would go up if we could price better on delivery

thanks for any input

We are using city link at the moment and they have been pretty good.
£5 a parcel and no fuel surcharges for mainland UK.
They are adding a predicted delivery time system in shortly too

DPD arn't bad but they hiked thier prices up sometime back.
Interlink are ok for parcels under 10kg but just watch the invoices as we got alot of over chanrging.

thanks,

we use despatch bay at the moment and pay less than that, was looking for something like a small parcel low weight setup like express packs by DPD

when are city link adding that function do you know?

I think it in the next month or so. There seems to be a lot of improvements happening to the service.
