Try the post office if the guy will drop them off, you send him the pre paid address labels and it's around £7/tyre

Paisley are good and fit your requirement that you don't need labels etc printed their end.

I've used them loads and always good service.

I've recently tried https://www.directcouriersolutions.com/ who are also very good and sometimes cheaper but I think require labels to be printed at the sending side...

Waiting to hear back some prices from people keep the recommendations coming in

We book Royal Mail through Interparcel.com for collections as they generate their own labels. Usually £12 for a tyre on a 48 hour service.

Same sort of deal, although I've found P2G customer service to be pretty useless when things go wrong.

Well they haven't been collected yet so I might just cancel that

speedski · 06-23-2018, 06:53 AM

I wouldnt use Interparcel or parcel2go.

Just find out which carrier they are using then call them direct. Unless they are idiots they should price match.

Interparcel and Parcel2go are just reselling with their own terms, which means you have no contract with the carrier.

Go to the carrier direct for decent service and support.

Interparcels price was from Parcelforce and they wanted £40 for the same parcel but on interparcel same dimensions etc was £11

Yeah but you ring parcelforce and they should match.

If it goes wrong your only support is Interparcel. You can't contact Parcelforce.

dizzy619 · 06-23-2018, 12:32 PM

Seller sounds like a knob if he won't even print some labels... Are you sure he will be able to manage lifting them outside so they can be collected

My thoughts exactly - I would abort the deal on that kind of attitude alone!
