Looking to contact David Cochrane

nice one duncan.

my main uk problem, is trying do the best prices for my customers.

not trying to creap. what i mean is. to get the best delivery companies for the best prices. i use parcel2go

for instance dhl is just under £10 for a 5kg through parcel2go. the same parcel if i sign up with DHL and go dirrect is £22.

here is were the problem comes in, if i insure a customers item with parcel2go. parcel2go will charge 10% on average of the value of the item for insurance cover.

you can all work it out for yourselves, if you want a £300 car part. your postage is now £10 + £30 total postage  now £40

next problem is even though these companies with take the money for insurance cover, they wont pay out on car parts.

my question for those who will actually answer on here is, is it fare for me to offer my own insurance on parcels at say 10%. and then if items go missing. the loss comes out of my own pocket. or if people dont want to insure, they take there own losses on items going missing.

tony.

ps, i must say i have mothing to do with p2g. and this is no way an advert for them. quite the oposit.
