I just looked into sending parcels using parcel monkey as they seemed cheap and collect the parcels from a specified address. I registered with the site and then started to input the parcel sizes, weights and delivery addresses.

They only collect from Monday to Friday between 8am and 6pm making it virtually impossible to arrange a collection.

I work 07:30 - 15.00 for now, but return to shifts in a few weeks.

Girlfriend works 08:45 - 17:15

Meaning that they have made it impossible for us to use them as we can not guarantee to be at a location at a specific time.

Beats me why they can't collect on a Saturday, they deliver on Saturday so why not collect ::b


Looks like I'll have to continue using the post office
:angryfire:

Come on big-all! Parcel "monkeys" have enough trouble just delivering parcels as it is, without all that cloak and dagger initiative shizzle :lol:
