Hey guys, old subject but new questions, I have just tried to get a quote on both the Royal mail & the Parcel force website & TBH am totally shocked :shock:
So questions -
On the RM site it only gives me the option of small parcels for international postage, is that right ?? :? & by small parcel I am assuming they mean the not above 8cm in height like with the domestic option?, no option for medium or large parcel, not even an option for large envelope :?
My parcel is quite modest at 21 x 20 x 14cm & weighing just 375 grams (one graded figure double boxed).
Parcel force options were also IMO stupid at -
Service Delivery Compensation Tracking Price
globalexpress Guaranteed from 1 day Up to £200 Tracked £59.39
globalpriority From 3 days Up to £100 Tracked £54.99
globalvalue Delivery Aim 5-9 days Up to £100 Not Tracked £32.30
globaleconomy Delivery Aim 28-30 days None Not Tracked £30.60
So cheapest option for a (in real terms) pretty small & very light parcel is £30.60 :? as its judged on The volumetric weight of 1.176 kg :x
So -
1. am I reading this right?
2. if so what are my other options as they can shove it where the sun don't shine at that price
Our Royal Mail is history
