Title: Best/Cheapest Way To Send A Frame & Forks To SBD?
Post by: Retrodan72 on April 04, 2018, 07:53 AM
I've got a frame set all boxed up to go to the magical colourful world of SBD. I used parcelfarce last time (2014) and it was about £13 from my Post Office, is this still the cheapest option?

I am a member of Parcel Force’s Rewards 4U scheme. Instant 15% off and makes less than £15 on their 48hr delivery.

And it’s free to join.

Do they collect from you or do you need to drop off at a depot?

You can drop it off at your local parcelforce depot or designated corner shop access point thru P4d for £8.95 for 24hr delivery, kinda makes a mockery of there rewards 4u 15% thing? unless they insure you for a big amount?

ps thats with only £20 insurance mind but its only a few quid to get to £500 insurance

Im sure its about £30 to send anything with a decent amount of insurance & when you consider its each way it gets pricey ...

It's getting picked up on Friday by Parcelforce, it was £12 with no cover - I like to live on the edge.

I like the way parcel companies charge you extra for a job that their meant to do in the first place.

I can imagine what my boss would say if I asked for more money to make sure I didn't screw up
