Question Courier prices

Hi folks

Just a quick question and hoping for a quick answer if poss please.

I might be buying a hoover (don't laugh) and I would need it collected from skelmersdale, Lancashire to March, Cambridgeshire. I doubt it would be boxed and would weight up to 25kilos.

What sort of price would I be looking at for collection and delivery?

Oh and this is to any on here that has their own courier business


Thank you

£10 if you have a business account and it's boxed otherwise it will get thrown about and damaged. If you do t have a business account your looking at £25+ if you can get him to drop it off I'll get it boxed and send it down it will cost £10.
Am based in Manchester or if he gets it boxed I can arrange to have it collected and delivered.

Why would Interlink use UPS? They are competitors!

Immy, it's not that cheap. ParcelMonkey and the likes are sort of brokers, the amount of freight they "send" means they will have preferential rates, as opposed to a small company with an account with any given courier.

Look at Amazon as an example; the amount of stuff they send they will be paying next to nothing for each consignment, bearing in mind they use all the main courier companies as well as Royal Mail.

Who I use, enter dimensions and post code then select the courier you want based on price.
