Courier Charges have they gone up

  1. its a while since I last sold something on Ebay and we need to sell our children's buggy plus early stages car seat, used to use interparcel.com but the prices seem to have shot through the roof, am I missing something or can someone suggest another booking service or even a courier direct.

    No wonder all those I have seen on ebay are listed collection in person only :mad: which undoubtedly limits the number of buyers and hence likely price :(
     
  2. Everythings on the rise dude apart from income
     
  3. parcel2go.com
     
  4. Post Office (and Parcelforce) prices have increased a lot and this seems to have pushed the courier prices up as well. It's eBay's fault in the first place - the Post Office are just reacting to the huge increase in small packages being sent by eBayers and have put the prices up to cover the costs.
     
  5. Have a look at www.myhermes.co.uk.

    I use them all the time and have had no problems. And they're as cheap as small rectangles of fried potato.

  7. Well the cheapest charge from the courier is £4.20. A bag of chips from Peggotys on Epping High Street is £1.20. So it's as cheap as three and a half portions of chips.

  8. what pees me off the most is coz im at home alot , i get asked ta sign for all the cant be arraseds parcels by these companies, do they not think we have other things ta do in our lives but sign for their internet credit card infused life styles. Why they cant just leave it on their door step like they did in the 19th century when i was a lad i dont know, god knows who wants ta pinch shopping channel trash anyway:lol:
