Re: Parcel2go do small pacels for 2.70 in UK thats cheaperthan Royal Mail
Its not just that, when you drop them at the designated outlets it takes an age for the operative to scan in each parcel.. I use drop and go service RM... bang out the addresses and leave the rest to them bypassing the que lines

Its also mentally exhausting..... How do people do it ? ...(1) how can the sell things so cheap and offer free delivery ?,,(2) how do they have the time to print out 40 labels a day ?

I have done over 400 items a day before. I use third party software and normally takes me less than 5 mins to do 400 items. Print out all label and start sorting out the item and stick label.

Horses for courses.
For me, it's not worth the couple of quid saved by using parcel2go as I have a 45 minute round trip to the nearest drop off point. When I get there the petrol station attendant doesn't have a clue what hes doing. Not confidence inspiring at all.
If you live in a city I'm sure it is great but for me it is so much easier to just frank it and drop it off at the local post office even if it does cost a little more.

pay for 1 item to be collected from you and say the other 10 for drop off shop. when driver comes for collect item ask him do you want to scan in and take drop off ones ? he will say yes cos he gets 50p per item collected. and you save too

Thats great.
Can you confirm please if i use it with multiple stealth,It will not link my accounts.
when generating token,I will use separate computers for each one.
but my Parcel2go detail will remain same.
can i also use bulk setting where Parcel2go will fetch my orders and i will process them.
Thnaks

welll i always pay for parcel2go using debit or credit card and not paypal so my dealings with them are totally seperate from my ebay paypal. I use the customers email address from paypal but not necesaary. as for customers phone i use one of my numbers so if theres a problem i know first and deal with it. but so far never been a problem. btw if you accidentally under weigh some thing, parcel2go / myhermes email you saying they are holding uip the parcel till you pay extra etc but actually they do not. they dont have the facillities to do this although you dont see it on the tracking. if i get one of these i text chat them and say it was human error or a dispute and unless they release or return it me i will initiate a chargeback from my credit card or who to apply to at parce2go for a subject access request (under DPA and would cost you £10 but cost them tons more cos they would have to send you a legible copy of all your data ). they usually cave in to a chargeback, it is not worth the cost and effort to them . but actually they never hold up the parcel.

Re: Parcel2go do small pacels for 2.70 in UK thats cheaperthan Royal Mail
always remember at some MyHerpes sorting hubs they use auto sorting with conveyor belts which transport and then "drop" your parcels into a hopper. if your parcel is first in the hopper its a long drop ! and everything else drops on to it. Pack accordingly for the drop test and crush test LOL
