Anyone know of a cheaper courier than £28? That is the quote I was offered @ shiply.com

Will try to get in touch with boxby tomorrow again if I remember

Try -https://www.parcel2go.com/

I sent a 90cm Gregorian dish with this company for £20

Thanks for that. Can you tell me roughly the weight of your 90cm dish. The person I bought off doesnt know the exact weight of the item

I tried parcel2go and I put the weight as 12kg-Also the dimensions are indeed pallet sizes. How much do you reckon that this should weigh? The seller THINKS it weighs less than 10kg

At parcel2go and interparcel the prices were well over £70 for delivery!

lee-ds · 23-06-09, 03:11 PM

Sent you a PM.

I use DHL to send my cameras, camcorders and accessories orders from my site. They do not have size restrictions, up to 31.8Kg and up to 500 liabilities. They charge me 24 hours services 4.78 and 4.18 for 48 hours services. I can give you the contact info with the person if you needed. He is good and he will meet you in person to set up the account. The other site I would recommend is interparcel which they do no size restrictions and up to 30Kg for 4.80 24 hours service

Do contracts with parcelforce. They do quite good deals. They managed to mess up with my account and I havent paid anything for months

Can they do a better deal than Boxby? I intend to start up a computer business and obviously computers cost a lot and I would need quite a bit of compensation. How good are parcelforce's prices compared to Boxby? Boxby are well known on business forums and they use Interlink Express as well, so they at least use a reliable courier

At the moment, I am really grateful to lee-ds for sorting me out with a cheap courier and I really owe him one, but shiply is also good for large items as I have recently found out

W0lu, please if your just here to spam, then the forum does not need your input. Zemme has his own shop, but doesnt spam every topic trying to get people to visit his shop. TBH, even if you had great customer service, and people really liked you, and you had a great deal, I wouldnt buy off you if you were just a spammer

Also from jimcarter's post, it seems he also has a business but at least he isnt spamming the forums!
