postal problems

[Tony Griffiths]

i prefer useing DHL.

DHL through parcel2go for 5kg is around £7.50 but the parcel cant be over 50cm long.

DHL through there own website is around £28.00 for the same service.

i spoke to DHL a few years ago, as a small business. for what my farty little company is worth. they would only give me a small discount as im just to small for anything sugnificant. they didnt even leave me with quotes.

paul N-M do remember my farty little company doesnt even hit the V.A.T limit.

and i dont even have one shop let alone others around the country. and definatly dont have starff to chase up postage quotes.

I know a company owner who, when asked by DHL how many packages he was going to send, estimated that it would be around 5000 - a received a well-discounted rate. At the end of the year, having sent just 700, DHL told him that they'd have to put him on a higher rate. He replied that in the coming year business would improve and he'd definitely by doing the 5000 - and managed to retain the better rate. This was 12 years ago and he still gets the discounted rate and still sends no more than 700 packages....
