Whats the best service to send parcels? Ive been looking at Parcelforce but it looks like their minimum is £15 shipping?? What about small items?

I use interparcel.com book and pay online and you can get prity large/heavy parcels delivered for about £8, royalmail/parcel force are rip off, they quote you online before you have to choose to buy the service.

Small items can go Royal Mail (that's the post office to you and me) as a packet. Anything up to 610mm x 460mm x 460mm and if it's less than 2kg it can even go 2nd class, cheap as monkey nuts.

Ive sent most of an Rs125 to various parts of the country using Royal Mail. Havnt done the big heavy bits, but nothing cost me over a tenner so far. Most small bits are a few pound.

Check out http://www.parcel2go.com/

They are easy to use and whilst not cheap cheap they are reasonably priced.

I use them and never lost anything yet
