[peel] Re: 160 cassettes of JP shows from 1989 - 1992

[rockerq@...]

I send all the batches of cassettes / reels by Royal Mail prepaid special delivery - this is expensive (but we do have enough contributions from this group to cover it). We have never yet lost a package.

FYI I generally put out a call for contributions when the fund dips below fifty quid - have so far done this twice over the last five years, and received over £200 each time.

I buy and sell a fair bit of vinyl and In the past I have often had packages go astray when I used first class post or normal parcel post (as was) - maybe one in 20 - and I do not think this is acceptable when we're deaing with tapes which may be the only recording of a particular show to survive.
 

 Something for discussion?

For sending parcels, I heartily recommend www.interparcel.com, a sort-of postal aggregator site.  When I was running a small label a few years back, we used to use them for shipping CDs and vinyl cos it was way cheaper than Royal Mail and we never had any problems with deliveries.

Hope this helps,
