Postage options.

What options do people use for postage?

I sold some computer bits and absolutely got stung, 1 for not including postage and 2 because I didn't expect it to cost so much, over 2kg and next day = £17???

Any cheaper alternatives?

Collect+ have been pretty good for me on anything over small parcel size / weight.

Sites like parcelmonkey are quite good I find.

Yeah

Otherwise if you're selling on ebay they do decent postage rates through them

Inpost, DPD, Collect+ all decent

Get a quote and weigh your goods before you sell so you can factor in postage to the cost and don't pay the extra for next day unless you get the buyer to pay the premium, just go with 2 day or economy

I recently posted a 6kg box, next day delivery for £6. Your box must have been big.

Look at places parrcel2go for comparisons.
