Collect Plus - amazing service!

Hi All,

Credit where it's due: I sold a bass on Evilbay on Sunday. I packed it and dropped it off at my local store for Collect Plus to take to the buyer. This was at about 7.00 at night on Sunday. It got delivered today (Tuesday) at 9:34. All for just over £8.00.

OK, yes, it's true Collect Plus say they only take parcels up to [color=#666666][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]60x50x50cm, but I've packed and shipped a few basses with them in the past with no probs.[/size][/font][/color]

Just thought others would like to know.

Well thanks for that. Turns out my closest drop-off shop is about five minutes away.

Cool, my local shop is 5 minutes walk away and a mate who I go drinking with owns it.

Great, you can drop off a parcel and get rat-arsed at the same time. What's not to like?

I have never heard about Collect Plus, thanks!

Have you sent the basses on hard cases?

[/quote] No. Never had the luxury. I've only ever used bubble wrap and cardboard. Besides hard cases increases the weight. I do have the benefit of a good supply of bubble wrap though.
