Stu Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I have just sold a few bits on Egay a set of brake discs and a harris screen brace I put £10 post on the discs and £5 on the screen brace the discs pack small enough for a small parcel but because of the weight they have to go medium as a result £12.92 48 hour the screen brace really light (600 grams) but because of the shape yup medium parcel again this cost £6.30 where the hell do they get these prices from No wonder people are using couriers these days!

Decor58 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Their parcel prices are extortionate!My girlfriend bought some shoes off amazon for £13 inc. postage but they didn't fit, so had to send them back. Went to the post office and they wanted to charge £6 postage even though it was rather light and not even a full size shoe box.Walked out and will sell them on ebay and make someone else pay a stupid price on postage!

RantMachine Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Nice Never had a problem with Royal Mail living back in Somerset, and they've been fine since I moved out into the countryside in Cambridgeshire, but in Cambridge itself they're the biggest bunch of gits in the city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benn Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Our old postman used to come at 8-9ish in the morning which was great, especially when waiting for a parcel. Our current one turns up at 2-3 at the earliest.I use couriers for my parcels always. MyHermes is alright, but don't give em something fragile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
