Which is the best company to use for send forks in the post? I've looked at royal mail special delivery, but that only seems to go upto 60cm length for a rectangular box.
Cheers
I just took them down the PO, and used Parcel Force 48.
in a box from your lbs, as above parcel 48, is about £20 standard parcel with £400 insurance is £13
Crikey, that was quick thanks guys.
senditnow.com
or
parcel2go.co.uk
Never had a problem with either. And they collect it from you.
Used parcel2go at least 30 times now.
Yet to have a problem myself but I know from friends it can be a little difficult to get things sorted if there is a problem.
I usually end up booking Yodel, Citylink, Myhermes or Collect+ via P2G, all have been fine for me.
You only get limited cover as standard (from memory about £20 or £25) but you can buy extra cover.
I've always booked the cheaper options (2 day service) but have had a few times when items have been received next day.
Parcel monkey is silly cheap, I posted a bike insured a couple of weeks ago for about a tenner. Usually the actual courier is city link so make sure you pack it well. Send forks with them before no problems
I took mine down to the post office, think they did it through parcel force.
Unless you're unlucky the Post Office will just eyeball it and allow you yo use Special Delivery even though they are technically too long.
