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

Hmm. 1 in 20 is a poor rate, is it typical of Parcel Post I wonder? 

 

Obviously what we are sending is priceless, so I wouldn’t be choosing a
delivery method on what levels of compensation are on offer, but what has
the greatest chance of being delivered!

 

I put in a 15kg 50x50x40cm package into interparcel and several couriers
came up with around £10 or less including Parcelforce.

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,
Scott
