Courier Costs

[James_P]

After a successful Christmas period, my wife's online business has now grown substantially over the last 2 years.

She is sending out around 4000 parcels a month between Oct - Dec, double last year, and obviously the shipping costs are quite a significant cost. She is currently paying £4.60 / parcel with DHL on a next day service (up to 30 volumetric KG, we use to use the bag service but switched everything over to parcels. Her stock is dispatched out of my companies warehouse and we don't use a fulfilment centre. Our driver is excellent, and we have had a few issues with DHL as expected with this type of volume, so the service is OK, but wondering if we can get a better deal elsewhere..

What are others paying?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Good to know that our rates are competitive, just curious to see what others pay!

Not going near Hermes or Yodel!!

Not tried APC but will give them a go as well as DPD and make a decision.

Thank you
