Parcel2go do small pacels for 2.70 in UK thats cheaperthan Royal Mail
 

So iv been using Parcel2 go for small parcels as they are the cheapest

trouble is they take ages to print out the labels once you have don all the box ticking input address ,return address ,insurance ect ect ect

Does anyone know any thing quicker ? it takes hours just to do a handful of labels

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.

I will avoid using myhermes as they will not deliver your parcel on time and even when delivered their damage rate is very high.

Wow! can you teach me :) :d

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.

yep im in London and the guy who runs the Londis shop loves Hermes he makes money from them, plus he gets extra sales by the people dropping stuff of then picking up a bottle of milk or some beer

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

Re: Parcel2go do small pacels for 2.70 in UK thats cheaperthan Royal Mail
 

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
 

I use made up emails and names plus i use my Dongle only because i ow them money But this way they cant link me ......In any case how can Ebay link via P2G theirs no name or address on the tracking info and that is all they will look at in a dispute or some thing ??

Re: Parcel2go do small pacels for 2.70 in UK thats cheaperthan Royal Mail

You could do this all the time i guess :)

Such a great tip. Thanks.

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

pay 30p extra and get them collected by P-ssoles2go

Re: Parcel2go do small pacels for 2.70 in UK thats cheaperthan Royal Mail
 

if u run a business u need a laser printer for labels takes seconds to print then
£2.75 is for up to 1 kilo is a cheap price at myhermes
and I only use royal mail for iphones or anything over £99
as they do special delivery next day and insurance to £500 for like £10.00 it safer
myhermes may lose a few parcels (the drivers nick them really) but royal mail is to expensive
to send medium to big parcels and if u do free postage on ebay it will hurt your profit a lot
thx

laser printer is best

Re: Parcel2go do small pacels for 2.70 in UK thats cheaperthan Royal Mail
 

i use an epson printer free from free cycle and have a back up one the same . i refill my own cartridges. secret is never let them run dry fill when half full.
i re cycle re use paper letters etc that are printed on only one side. i always pick up flyers and free leaflets printed on one side. Using p-ssoles2go i copy customers address and email and use my telephone number for me and customer. print off the lable and print one as a pdf form my own records. the fastest postage to process is paypal postage. paypal postage also hides the price of postage to stop penny arse scratachers requesting 25p over payments
