conman

hi all, hope you can help..

Im looking to send a parcel 16kg to the uk, but i cannot yet find a cheap parcel delivery service, anything under 25€ i think would be good, but so far its about €20 more than that...

any ideas ?

Try reporting your thread, ask for it to be moved to "Bargain Alerts [Requests]"

45euro sounds good to me i pay 33euro to send 3kg to the UK with Anpost and that's standard delivery.

You could try giving this guy a call. He's been able to get some good deals for me in the past:

Used gls for a large. heavy box to the uk, cost €32, almost half of what an post and other couriers were charging. Found though that I needed to know where their depot was as the locations on their website are way off, but good service and online tracking. website www.gls-ireland.com

Have you tried http://www.interparcel.com/?
They seem to have reasonable quotes....

thanks lads for the replies, i didnt get anything cheaper than anpost at the time i needed to send (10am friday), so i used them.. but ill bookmark this thread for future use, some better prices available i see now

For future reference, GLS have a 'Parcel Shop' in Reads on Nassau Street.

Might be handy for some because their depot on the northside is a dog to find.

Prices are based on size as opposed to weight (max. 30kg).

If you're doing regular parcel delivery to the UK, Fastway Couriers will be introducing a UK service soon at prices that will beat anything in the market.

Same restrictions apply as their local delivery service. E.G. under 30kg and less than 1 metre long.

They also have plans to open Drop off points at some of their existing customer's premises. (I'll have one in Athy)

Fastway mentioned they're looking into this when I started using them a while back. It'll be a big help I think.

Any idea what delivery times will be to the UK?
