Do you get your pacels collected?
"Jack Raymond" wrote in message ... 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. Can you email me? Your addy is invalid. -- Scorpio |

Most companies want a minimum of 3 consignments a day for an acount to be
