Most companies want a minimum of 3 consignments a day for an acount to be
setup, if you can do that you should be ok, although now is a bad time for
companies to be taking on more business

Small home user. How do you manage to get your large/heavy boxes
posted? Do you get them collected via royal mail or a courier? If so
how? Is royal mail and parcelforce the same? How do you get a courier
contract or whatever and when is this cost effective? Do they charge
to collect or a monthly fee?Can I send parcelforce items via a post
office? Or is Parcel Post Parcel Force? The pricing chart on the
royal mail website seems to refer to 'small packets' rather than boxes
but the weight goes up pretty high.

A lot of the post office scales/counters dont seem suitable for
dealing with boxes. It doesnt seem really practical to start carrying
in numerous boxes into the post office , or numerous padded enevlopes.
