Title: Hermes postage
Post by: timbo on February 24, 2016, 06:13:31 PM

I know we've discussed this on here before, but I've just posted an old Ariel tank to Bournemouth from NI for £6.19 and a wheel to Guildford for £7. And tha'ts collected from my house  :)

I've used them loads for posting Ebay stuff and they have been excellent - free tracking, MUCH cheaper than Royal Mail and (so far) they don't break stuff - I once had some carbon fibre tubes  ( wrapped in bubble wrap and inside a STRONG cardboard poster tube) broken in not one but TWO places by Postman Prat...that must have taken some doing!!

Agreed! Cheaper than Royal Mail and good service, with no loses or breakages to date. I just take the packages to my local petrol station that runs the franchise closest to me.

My regards, Bill

I've used them several times - all fine except the time they left a parcel outside in the pouring rain.
