Hi
First sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place.
Second has anyone used Parcel2Go as I want to post a power supply within mainland UK.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've used them. All went just fine. I've posted a PSU with InterParcel before too and had no problems there. P2G are decent yep

Thanks Moogle
Had a look on the web and the price difference between parcelforce and Parcel2Go is almost double.

Yeah Parcel2Go use DHL, but you can select ParcelForce too iirc. Check out InterParcels prices too you can get to the select courier page and it will show you the prices (exVat though).

Thanks again Moogle
I had a look at InterParcels and the price is about the same but you have more choice.
As you seam to be the expert on this topic
Do you know how late you can book a collection for next day pick up i.e booked on Thursday for Friday.

I think for Interparcel DHL as late at 10am on the day
But I've always booked the day before like around 8pm for the next morning pickup and it's always gone through fine

How much do they want to post a PSU? I just posted one Royal Mail and it was about £8

[piggin23]

They wanted 6.89 + vat
The power supply is very heavy 4 Kg so royal mail is looking expensive.

Yep, unless you send it the slower way but then you have no tracking info etc.

The power supply is being sold on e-bay so I want some way of tracking the item. (don't want to be ripped off).

Moogle - Thanks added - you have helped me out a few times now and I have not clicked the button

PS Nice to see the cat back.

Lol 2nd member who's happy to see the cat back

No problems, just make sure you pack that PSU well (Changing the weight up to 5 or 10kg on interparcel doesn't affect the price. I think they have the prices set for different weight ranges so use up that weight with extra padding/packing so that it's all protected well) and you've got nothing to worry about.

Will do

Sold my PSU on ebay last night and booked a collection and delivery through Interparcel with DHL. DHL van turned up @12:30 and parcel went on its way. All looks very good at the moment, lets hope it gets there in one piece.

[moogle]

Don't worry it will

Unless there's some natural disaster or something it'll get there fine. The guy shoulda handed you a receipt or something that has the tracking number, just check on it every so often to keep your mind at rest

[piggin23]

I have the tracking number so I monitor its progress.

Will have to get a new power supply now. lol

Parcel2Go are con merchants. They've a huge history of "losing" parcels, especially those of value. Friend of mine had a £500 item go missing in their hands. That was 2 years ago, and he's still not had anything back. They've told him they'll look into it, a few months later they coveniently knew nothing about it and had lost all paperwork, and my friend is currently dragging them through small claims court. And it's not uncommon.
Use someone with a properly established setup. Although P2G piggyback off DHL, DHL on their own have a workable and trackable system that works half sharp.
