parcel service recomendations please

[jas xjr]

setting up a small e commerce site and looking for the cheapest way to post the goods, toys and games. at this stage it will be small volumes and not too worried if i have to drop off the items at a depot, near Reading. i have used the search funtion but did not really find anything suitable.
the biggest thing we might send out would be a scalextric set. the majority would be considerably cheaper and lighter. thanks in advance

Parcel2go.com would be quite cheap for that sort of stuff

Not Parcel Farce. I have used FedEx and UPS before with good results for Int'l stuff.

Parcel 2 Go are great, I have used them a few times in the past, much cheaper than most other couriers.

thing is i am looking at sending out items which might only be worth £10 . at this stage i do not mind if they cannot be collected.
thanks for the advice

I've only had one problem with P2G, in maybe 15 times of using them. It may well have been pilot error, I tried to book a same day collection and their systems couldnt process it quick enough. Everything else has been fine

We have used interlink express for about 2 years now with no problems. Send mower parts all over uk, and they provide a superb next day service for about £5.00 per item, up to 5kgs.
Collect daily from us, don't demand huge volume, and to date have never lost or damaged anything. All computersied booking, labelling with standard pc and printer. Slightly more than posting very light items, but over 1kg you won't get much cheaper, and the hassle of having to make daily trips to post office or a depot soon gets very tiresome.
