Cheaper Parcel Deliveries. How to Save Money Sending Christmas Parcels with Planet Parcel

32 million people (66% of all adults) in Great Britain purchased goods or services over the internet in 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics. This was an increase from 62% in 2010.

Many of those purchases are sent as parcels either here in the UK or overseas. An exciting new site www.planet-parcel.com is changing how parcels are sent and saving people money. The site is an easy to use door-to-door courier service which compares the market online and suggests the cheapest possible way to send a parcel. Planet Parcel is linked to a number of different carriers such as DHL, Citylink and Parcelforce. The site works in 4 simple steps. First enter the details of the parcel to be sent in a simple quote form. Next, the site will provide a range of choices, typically listing the cheapest first. Then the customer books the time for the parcel to be picked up and delivered (all of Planet Parcel deliveries are overnight express) and finally a label can be printed out on a home printer which is attached to the parcel. The delivery process is now completed; the parcel will be picked up from the customer's home and delivered to the recipient, with the arrival date clearly shown. Customers can ensure same day collection if booked before midday.

It is a remarkable new service which will change how parcels are sent in the UK and overseas.

The Planet Parcel team said "We know that people will make great savings by sending parcels through us because we compare the market in real-time and offer customers the cheapest available price. We also add value with an incredible arrangement through our partners, Aviva Insurance. When you use other parcel delivery companies how can you be sure that you will get a full refund if your parcel is damaged or gets lost in transit? If a parcel company offers you enhanced cover what it means is that they have increased their contractual liability, or in plain English, the amount you can attempt to claim. If something goes wrong you deal directly with the delivery company and they decide if they are liable or owe you a refund. If you don’t like their decision it is a common law dispute and you have to go to County Court to resolve the issue. We are different to that because we take the safe delivery of customer parcels incredibly seriously. The cover Aviva offer is amongst the most comprehensive available in the market and we sort things in the extremely unlikely event of any issues arising. Research tells us that customers appreciate that level of care."

Planet Parcel claim that the eBay revolution has led to the steep rise in door-to-door parcel deliveries. As more and more people send parcels around the country and overseas the days of trekking down to the Post Office and paying premium prices are over they say. ‘People know how to shop around and they are used to finding great value online. Planet Parcel is an important new link in the purchasing chain which, in time, will become the standard way to send parcels.
