Second stage of the delivery has gone according to plan

Man in a huge van HAS collected

Fingers crossed now for the hat trick with an on time delivery

I used Interparcel recently to collect a document in Africa and deliver it door to door in the UK without any problems.I was able to track it on the web from collection to delivery.

Just a little update....parcel eventually got delivered nine days ago (ten days after it was collected for next day delivery haha) to a completely spurious address in London - recipient called us and P2G arranged for TNT to collect and return to us next day (last Thursday).

Guess what.......nothing.

Now they are conducting a "depot search" which is a euphemism for "some thieving bastard has stolen it but we don't want to break the news just yet".....

I won't bore you with the enormous catalogue of emails, phone calls, online help discussions and broken promises but P2G and TNT are just the biggest showers of shite in the business.

Well I can report only good things from "interparcel" so far

Collections and deliveries have been done on appointed days and muchly cheap too

Parcelfarce are pants

I've tried before but they're more expensive than asking a courier to come to my house and actually deliver it the next day for half the price parcelfarce wanted to deliver it in maybe 3 to 5 days but not guaranteed and I'd have to take it myself to the ruddy post office stand in a queue of drunks trying to get the last 78p out of their account without any id only to be told eventually that the parcel is too long

I used Parcel force with a business account and to be far they were spot on at collecting from across the UK and delivering back but that was mostly business to business.

I think that is the kind of business they want as most business to home is a night mare cus no one is every in at the other end.

anyone got a recommendation for shipping 2-3 kgs of stuff to the States?

Fez_uk · 21-10-2011, 10:45

I think it's too heavy for royal mail.

again look at quotes on interparcel, But remember usa is a pain to ship to.

why? Its only heroin?

Fez_uk · 21-10-2011, 12:17

I believe max delivery to abroad is 2kg for airmail small packages.

also you need commercial invoices with the package if sent with courier, Even though if it isn't commercial (in my case).

They need 3 of them, major pain in the ass if you ask me. Look it up to confirm this.

Think TNT need 6!

actually Interparcels 2-5 day rates dont look too bad considering. Not bothered about doing paperwork as its commercial anyway. Any ideas how much I should charge for 3kgs of heroin and can I accept payment via Paypal?
