MyHermes quick send vs Parcel2go

I find MyHermes quick send a faster option than parcel2go website and when u r sending over 50 parcels a day its a big plus :cheer:

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Do you have the time to send 50 parcels a day?

And how many losses do you get with sending 50 a day with hermes? 10?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

He will have time to make a thread moaning that parcels go missing though.

Let's not forget Royal Fail dont like him either.


:lol:

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

NO loses at the moment touch wood :nono:

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Royal mail are to expensive I have stopped using them unless its over £100 special delivery items :au:

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

50 was a busy day normally its 10 :cheer:

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

The amount of damaged parcels we get as a ratio with MyHermes compared to Royal Mail is unreal.

MyHermes are cheap for the larger size parcels but you had best make sure they are very well wrapped. They even make this suggestion themselves on their website which indicates that even they know the parcels get bashed around a lot more with them than anyone else.

Royal Mail are undoubtedly more expensive for parcels however I can honestly count in the one hand how many damaged parcels we have had with their service.

Nice one GB! Hehe!

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

So then you get low dsr's through customer complaints?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Well we dont actually sell via ebay just yet. A long term ban and recently purchased stealth account failing are the reasons for that however using Amazon as an example, we dont get low ratings or negative feedback if we reply quick and resolve quick.

If somethings broken then I know whats it like not to want to do anything as it costs money and was technically not the sellers fault however the buyer sees it that the seller should fix it. If its broken but still useable, offer a partial refund or a discount. If its broken beyond use then make sure you replace it. Always communicate quick as it really does make the difference. We get very little delivery issues or complaints and quite often you can turn a negative situation into a positive by quick and polite replies as well as resolving the situation to suit the customer.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

If you want to avoid complaints or low ratings in relation to delivery then I would suggest using Royal Mail. It really depends on the size/weight of the item to determine if Royal Mail is best for you.

sometimes enough packaging is enough but to give you an example, we had a recent issue where an item came packaged inside polystyrene (thickly packed) and was inside another cardboard box as well as bagged up by our postage bags. The customer sent a picture and you would think this box had been shot by a bazooka! Its a regular occurrence with MyHermes so even when you pack well, bad things still happen to packages.

Stop licking bum :nono::nono::nono:

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

I am using MyHermes for last few months. So far so good, No complain yet :).
Can I connect MyHermes with my stealth acc(stealth address)? how can they collect from my original address?Thanks

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

If u send 150 item each week you are eligible for discount

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

thats right. bt how u connect with ur stealth acc as its diff from ur pickup point?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

My major worry is the label getting torn. Does anyone know how much of the label you can cover with sellotape. Can I cover everything except the barcode with clear tape?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

In a word, yes.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Thanks for the reply.
I've no major worry about item getting damaged as i sell clothes but always felt the label was a weak point as it could easily tear.
I do usually include a return label in my parcel.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

did you link with your stealth acc?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Yes I did. a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address is on the stealth ebay account but parcel2go have my real home address. I believe that parcel2go only share the ebay user name and (possibly) eBay password.
No-one seemed to know if it was dangerous to link the parcel2go accounts and eBay accounts so I felt i had to take the chance as doing it unlinked was too slow for preparing parcels.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

I've found that using myhermes through parcel2go is cheaper than the myhermes website. I save about 34p per parcel.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

I have same feelings. but worried abt linking.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

I'll keep you updated. I'm still on eBay after 3 days.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

any update so far?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

I use both royal mail and my hermes. The postal town does not concern me as such as very unlikely that eb and pp check these out. However, a manual review would be the only concern.
For my hermes collection, you print off two labels. First goes on outer parcel, the second goes inside parcel and has buyers address on and your collection address on. I cut out my address part and put the rest inside parcel. I do this just incase buyer is finicky and wonders why you are trading in say london but says your address is liverpool. I would be worried thwy would notify ebay of this so to safeguard myself i do this.
Another member says that if you drop off at a collection point, the original destination is missing. Not sure about that as ive never tried it :-)

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Still on eBay after 10 ten days.
:clap:

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Nice luverly - get backups going

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

I drop my parcels off at a local shop. I use parel2go.com which allows me to choose the company I want to deliver my parcel. I choose Hermes. Printing the label it ONLY prints the address of the buyer on half an A4 sheet of paper.

It sounds like the hermes website prints more details ie buyer and seller address.
Luckily i now have a real address to receive returns so the differing address is no longer a problem for me.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Why is MyHermes quicker than parel2go? You can choose myhermes on the parcel2go webiste? Or am I misunderstanding you?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Would be interesting to know. Ive never used parcel2go ever :-)

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

go have a look, it's like a price comparison site. you give the weight and measurements and then can choose a courier.
thats why i think using myhermes website and parce2go website will have same delivery time.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Will be doing soon as important lesson learned - don't trust eBay. I sell clothes on eBay and it is so easy to get defects and limited due to returns - many buyers can't measure themselves and then quote its not as described.
:mad2:

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

having linked parcal2go and eBay I am still able to sell on eBay Lucifer!
Despite parcel2go having my real address as a return and me having a stealth address on eBay.

As said earlier i believe eBay and Parcel2go only share eBay user name and possibly the Password.

Has anyone linked accounts using myhermes or other courier websites?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

I am also using parcel2go with myHerms, So far so good. Linking with Ebay , no prob but parcel2go can't link with AZ, strange

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Yes i drop off my parcels and the label does NOT have senders address.
They advise you print two labels and put one inside in case the outside label gets damaged
I always add a sticky return label and then if buyer wants to return item they can just stick it on.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

I may have to start using myhermes collection.
How quick do they pick up your parcels? Is it Next day? And is there a cut off time the day before? For example if i sold an item at 10pm would they be able to pick up the parcel next day?
Do they pick up at weekends?

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Pickup is slow,take extra 1 day compare to drop . better to do drop, if you have cost cutter near to ur place drop there,take 2-3 days max.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Sadly I may be without a car in the near future. Four mile round trip (each way) walk to nearest Drop off point.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

The prices have gone up on parcel2go when choosing myhermes.
They are advertising 5% added to your account if you top up £100 or more.

Re: MyHermes quick send v Parcel2go
 

Few posts around have come up with issues with myhermes - just fyi
