Apart from UPS what service can I use to send a tv in the uk?


Ups is £101 postage when the tv isn't worth much more itself...



Do Royal Mail do it? Evri?

I'm very new to selling stuff

Can somebody help

Thanks

Hop into bed with Amazon if you're serious about selling consistently, they do the heavy lifting, you pay them a fee.

This only makes sense if you plan to be a consistent seller and your income surpasses the fee that amazon takes per month/year.

After you've got yourself up and running, make a merchant deal with a courier service, your generic big names will rip the ass out of you, look for courier partners than let you set up shipping at a fraction of the price.

Check out this site. Its kind of like skyscanner but for parcels. It should be possible for about £10-15 it seems. Before Brexit I used to send 20kg packages to the EU for around £20.

I don't think you could send with Royal Mail. Certainly not for a good price!

Unfortunately every one you've mentioned don't send tvs unless they're very small. And one that does I forgot which off the top of my head when I entered the dimensions (50inch yes it's big) quoted me £960, obviously an error or something but yeah

I'm struggling.

Maybe I'm not being realistic and 50inch Is to big to send
