Sending Parcels

Post by Richard »

I needed to send my Tent to my daughter today, 9kg.

I found this site.. http://www.parcel2go.com/

I did delivery to address next day and sent it from an Access Point (a shop about a mile away) for £7.79 - a 3 day service could be around a fiver.

I'm sure many of you are aware of this site, but thought I'd mention it in case you don't, especially if you sell on ebay.

Used it quite a lot never had a problem. There is a drop off point on my way to work so no extra journeys in the car. )t'

I cant remember, but think this is the company that have been advertising on the tv lately. If it is then they do the first parcel free of charge.

The website won't let me find the drop off points unless I invent a parcel I want to send. If I was selling on ebay I still wouldn't know the 'to' till after so they could do with something more general.

And the website has left a box on my screen, on every tab I open, saying
! please fill in this field.

I can't get rid of it, I'll see if closing Chrome will do the trick
