    I'm sorry now but whats the difference between a packet and a parcel?!

    Packet:
    Dimensions:
    Minimum dimensions: 100mm(L) X 70mm(H) X 25mm(D).
    Maximum dimensions: for a packet are a combined length, height and depth of 900mm. No individual dimension can exceed 600mm, with a tolerance of 2mm.
    In tube form the maximum dimensions are the length plus twice the diameter 1,040mm with no one dimension exceeding 900mm, with a tolerance of 2mm.
    Weight:
    Items which qualify for the Packet rate of postage must weigh no more than 2kg.

    Parcel:
    The Parcel rate of postage caters for items up to the following size dimensions and is subject to a physical & dimensional weight limit of 20kg.
    Dimensions
    Maximum dimensions:
    Length: 1.5 metres
    Length: + Girth 3 metres

    To calculate the Girth: 2 x (Depth + Width)

    Definitely a packet so :) thanks a mill

    Just one more quesiton - do you have to use registered post or would regular post be ok?? I've heard before that registered post isn't any quicker delivery than regular post so would it be ok to take the chance? It's considerably cheaper in postage.

    AFAIK registered post is not quicker - just evidence that u sent something. Unless the goods are very valuable, I'd chance it without registered post. Even if you use it, I think you have to put down values etc. and not sure how you'd claim after. When u start adding values the price goes up i think. In fairness the vast majority of post arrives (do not shoot messenger if they mess up !!!)

    Yeah same for me. 1 added to my basket automatically. Removed mine but I'd say there's a few people who don't notice and think they've gotten a free one.

    Got 2 for free before tho.

    How good are these guys on delivery times? First time ordering off them; needed a tent for EP so hoping it arrives by next Thursday at the latest.

    3 days is the quickest and 5 the longest I've waited so you should be ok

    Ordered at 3pm on Monday afternoon, delivered about an hour ago by DHL. I'd say if I ordered it early on Monday I would have gotten it yesterday tbh.

    Not sure if this has been answered here before. Tried to pay via paypal just now, but it won't let me use my paypal balance, only credit card (which I really don't want to do). Tried changing payment option on paypal but it will only allow me to add a new card. Any ideas?

    Edited to add: they also defaulted a mug in my basket.

    Defaulted a mug for me just now too

    Edit: nope, paypal balance worked fine for me. I had to login again after removing the mug, but it still worked

    Lads I be making a big order tomorrow as in a big quantity of shorts & socks (about 60 pcs altogether)

    Are they reliable enough to send that big a order over to here? And I'm spending over £200 is their any new discount codes etc?

    Cheers

    I made a huge order earlier this year. It arrived in a huge cardboard box, about the size of a washing machine.

    If they try to sneak something into your basket you should really complain to them - that's ridiculous. I wonder how many people on here actually thought they got ''free'' mugs in the past when that wasn't the case...

    They tried to sneak the Sports Direct magazine into my cart this morning at a charge of 1.20. Without boards i probably wouldn't have even checked.
