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

[rockerq@...]

The normal packages I send to rippers are rather smaller, up to 1kg, which fits around 20 cassettes without cases, and costs £7.50 by Royal Mail Special Delivery.

Hmm. 1 in 20 is a poor rate, is it typicalof Parcel Post I wonder? 
 
Obviously what we are sending ispriceless, so I wouldn’t be choosing a delivery method on what levels ofcompensation are on offer, but what has the greatest chance of being delivered!
 
I put in a 15kg 50x50x40cm package intointerparcel and several couriers came up with around £10 or less includingParcelforce.

I send all the batches of cassettes / reels byRoyal Mail prepaid special delivery - this is expensive (but we do have enoughcontributions 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 fiftyquid - 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 goastray when I used first class post or normal parcel post (as was) - maybe onein 20 - and I do not think this is acceptable when we're deaing with tapeswhich 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. WhenI was running a small label a few years back, we used to use them for shippingCDs and vinyl cos it was way cheaper than Royal Mail and we never had anyproblems with deliveries.

Hope this helps,
