« on: January 07, 2016, 11:48:18 AM »
Need to send my GM original duplex wheelie 96cm x 38cm x 42cm back to cricket supplies as its faulty.

Search for parcelmonkey on google, compares the prices on all couriers, includes options for them to pick it up etc.

MyHermes will be your cheapest option for something that big

I'd also wager Hermes will be the cheapest for that.

use a reseller like interparcel, they use my hermes.  Just check which ones have cover in case it gets lost. Most only offer upto £50 as standard. Make sure its trackable as well.

Get a MyHermes account. Easy local dropoff and good service.

I've used myHermes to send bats a few times with mostly successful results, I does depend partly on who delivers the item the other end, if I remember correctly the deliverers are self employed similar to other couriers. Had one instance of a failed delivery attempt not being communicated by them to the recipient resulting in a delay of a few days.

A major advantage is being able to drop the parcel off at a local newsagent and track it's path online.

I've used this website previously to find the best combination of value / delivery times when sending bats back for refurbs etc.; you might find something suitable here:

I suppose its luck of the draw but I've had terrible problems with My Hermes. UPS is slightly more expensive but always seem to work for me.

DX, quotes from parcel monkey are available so you don't need a DX account.

Do you know the weight of yours? The standard bola machine in its black box with power supply?
