They will give you day of collection (find out from the buyer whens best). 15 to 20kg is the weight I normally go for, insurance in optional but always best. You can do all this on line, they like a contact number from the collection and delivery address as this helps.

I think if I remember right there is an option for the driver to sort the labels too.. Or email them to the seller and ask him to print and attach them.

Parcel Force tend to charge the most mate.. ;)
