Around 10kg length 110cm. From what I can tell parcel force would be £41 and it's too big for collectplus. Who else should I try?

Looks about £30 on here http://www.interparcel.com/

Approx 110x40x20. Reckon around 9kg maybe it more when packed up

Only charged £20 p&p on eBay. Soon there is going to be no point in selling stuff when it costs this much to post!

POSTED 1 MINUTE AG

That may be smallenough for Parcelforce's standard 48hr, so about £15.
It used to be...

Thanks, still some reasonable services then! Take it though I have to spenda day in waiting for the courier, or do they specify accurate pick up slots?

It's an all day affair, unless you have a local depot to drop it off at.

I've got a frame to post too. Parcelmonkey seem most reasonable (cheapest and willing to take 110x78x24 parcel) so far.
