How much for a courier?

[Lynn Normington]

Karl not sure of prices but parcel to go(parcels to go ) you can work out how much it will cost, they are reliable and reasonably priced.

£95 + VAT. Would that be considered steep?

[John Gregson]

Hi Karl, That sounds very expensive, the company I use is about £27.00 + vat for 64kg anywhere in uk – but I might be getting special rates due to an account and the amount of times I use them.

Goldstar Couriers 0191 441 9441

Tell them John from Blade sent you and you might get a good deal – then again they might tell you to fknlg.nlhbbk off. :lol1:

Karl, are you asking because you have been charged this, or you are looking for a courier to do it for you?

InterParcel

Maybe another section for the tool bar 😉

I’m looking for a courier to do it for me Peter. Are you offering? 😀

[Peter Normington]

£50 and I’ll be on me delivery bike….

Seriously though What are the dimensions of the package? it does make a big difference to the price, as well as the weight, health and safety say 50KG is not a one man lift so it will need a tail lift and a pallette/barrow truck to deliver. so quite often that is where the premium cost is incurred

Karl, never thought of the size – for the company i use they have a max parcel weight of around 20kg (as Peter said – H&S) so you would have to split it in to 3 parcels if possible.

Sorry didn’t mention that before.

Fastway charge a max of £7.95 for 25kgs. I think you still have to buy £300 of vouchers though.

[John Gregson]

Hi Paul, Now that seems really cheap – I might have to give fastway a bell in the new year

[Karl Williams]

I’m going to go and collect myself. Be nice to take a day off and go for a drive. Anyone on the way who wants to get the kettle on?

[Peter Normington]

pop into Luton Karl.
its only just off the route 😀

[Michael Potter]

Hi Karl if you pay our air fares we will deliver it for nothing.
Hopefully yours mike

Fastway are in oz and NZ too, and really cheap. Read the fine print though. They take no responsibility for a lost parcel… and they have lost a few of mine over the years 🙁

[Graeme Speirs]

I always use interparcel.com, really good and never let me down. As someone else said might be a good to add a "courier" section onto the toolbar?

When are you thinking Karl cos we are 5 mins from J39 of M1 if you are feeling thirsty.

Cheers

I used uk pallets to pick up my cadet with a load of other bits. Was around the 200kg and that only cost 100 inclusive! Real good service, from scotland to essex next day. That was 2 pallet spaces. Single pallet was half of that.

A lot of companies now charge volumetrically now as well. Bigger the box the more it is. Think city link are like that.

[Karl Williams]

I need to get before Christmas. Looks like I won’t go thirsty! 😉
