Free Parcel Comparison Service Slashes Delivery Costs for UK Senders
A free online comparison service is transforming how UK residents send parcels by helping them find cheaper courier prices in seconds, with potential savings of pounds compared to booking directly. This innovative tool, known as Parcel2Go, analyzes the shape, size, and weight of items to uncover the best deals available, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to cut delivery expenses.
How Parcel2Go Works to Reduce Shipping Fees
Parcel2Go operates by scanning multiple courier options to present users with the lowest prices. For instance, sending a large letter via Royal Mail's tracked 48-hour service typically costs £2.95 when booked directly. However, through Parcel2Go, the same service drops to £2.75, offering a small but immediate saving. The real advantage becomes apparent with larger parcels: a medium parcel weighing up to 10KG costs £8.60 with Royal Mail directly, but Parcel2Go finds options as low as £5.39 with Evri for a two-plus-day delivery.
Significant Savings on Bigger Items
When shipping bigger items, the savings can be substantial. For example, DPD offers the same medium parcel service for £6.45 through Parcel2Go, and even Royal Mail reduces its price to £7.05 when booked via the platform. While adding parcel protection may increase costs, especially for valuable items, it often remains cheaper than going directly to the courier. Evri frequently emerges as the most affordable choice on Parcel2Go, but users can select any preferred courier, including options for international shipping, which the service also covers with competitive rates.
Flexible Features and User Benefits
Parcel2Go allows users to customize their shipping preferences by adjusting delivery times, parcel dimensions, and whether to drop off or have parcels collected. The platform quickly generates fresh quotes based on these inputs, enabling users to print labels and prepare consignments directly from the website. Since its launch in 2001, Parcel2Go has assisted customers in finding the cheapest prices for over 83 million parcels, establishing itself as a trusted tool in the logistics industry.
Additional Business and Leisure Offers
In related news, Vodafone Business has introduced a time-limited broadband offer for small businesses, providing twelve months at half price on selected fibre packages until March 4. This deal targets firms with one to nine employees, including home offices and startups, with entry-level plans starting at £11.50 per month before VAT in the first year. Meanwhile, Parkdean Resorts is offering a limited-time promotion for UK family breaks, with seven-night stays at Carmarthen Bay in South Wales available for just £169 on selected February and March dates, down from the usual £189.
