[QUOTE="PGowdy, post: 218105, member: 2042"] Royal Mail are a ****ing rip-off. Since their greedy price-hikes i've been using Hermes to send medium or large size packages. I've now sent 4 packages through them ranging from 0.9lbs(0.40kgs)-1.8lbs(0.81kg). Varying sizes. The largest of which was about the size of a playstation box! All packages were sent within the UK. I went though www.parcel2go.com which gives you quotes from different companies. The cheapest each time for what i was sending was Hermes but if you were sending to europe or the US i would think a different company would be better. Either way it's incredibly easy to use. I opted out of insurance because the value of the packages just wasn't that high plus the items are tracked and you get a text when they arrive at the destination (you have to opt for this and it costs 30p extra). They picked up the packages from my house the next day (after ordering/buying the service the previous evening) Each package cost [b][u]£3.73 [/u][/b]and took about 3 days to arrive. I can't help you on how much extra it would be if insured but the service is offered with insurance. Hope that helps. Pete. [/QUOTE]
