Postage - confusing !!!!!

[Dai]

Have sent 2 packages to peeps on here recently.
One was a wing mirror, the other a standard down pipe.

Parcel Force wanted £11.85 :eek: :eek: :eek: each to post these packages, and they were only about 2kgs each.

I sent them normal post from the post office, and the woman behind said that it was Parcel Force that actually delivered them,
and the cost..........................

Wing Mirror £6
Down Pipe £4.85

Parcel force are crap. Their minimum charge is £11.85 up to 10 kg. I asked at the PO what they would charge for aparcel up to 10 kg - answer =£6 :eek: :eek:

I think they do up to 20kgs as well:)

[Jezz_S13]

yeah take anything upto 30kg to post office. £10.20.

Parcel force only do the 48hour thing which is ****ing pricy.


it's not that confusing Dai. :)

The post office apparently bought the Standard Parcel post off parcel force or something.

the guy did explain it to me.

Yeah, didnt really mean confusing, more its a rip off. Especially when PF's 48hour takes longer most times :eek: :eek:

The wifey at the post office always goes nuts when I bring big packages in, I think there's an unwritten rule at my PO about the parcels having to fit through the glass box bit between the counters? I'm not too sure how thay could weigh a large object (a bumper for example) because they've only got desktop scales at my PO?

It'll be interesting when I go in with my s13 rear bumper for Ade in the near future :rolleyes:

Dunc.

I'm sure Parcel Force would do it, and charge loads, and by the time you got it,it would be a Vintage car :eek: :)
