Given a Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm 'standard' letter is £6.45 this is a bargain!

£25 compensation as standard.
I think i will stick to myhermes, despite some people's experience, I've always found them good.

Or do the same at the post office, pay much more and get a sales pitch for phone, broadband, travel money and insurance, credit card, banking etc etc...

I'm not normally one for backing up the Royal Mail, having watched the cost of one of my items go from around £0.70 to £2.80 to post, in 4 years, but special delivery prices do not seem to be interested in sizes like the normal post.
2011 Special delivery price for 500g £5.90 for £500 compensation
2012 Special delivery price for 500g £6.35
2013 Special delivery price for 500g £6.95
2016 Special delivery price for 500g £7.25
I suggest you get a new calculator.

That seems super easy and convenient, great for sellers. Though I just buy on eBay nowadays. Heat added, Argos will be busy

I'm sure as soon as HUKD start using it, Sainsburys/Argos will roll it out nationally.
I sent a letter Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm recently and the price had DOUBLED in a year!

it would be if any of the 6 argos stores near me offered this service, sadly they don't.

Same for me unfortunately :disappointed:
Still, hope it takes off as it looks to be a good idea.

Me too, I've seen how my local Argos (which in reality is hardly local being a 40 minute round trip further away) treat collection parcels, the only business that makes the old City Link couriers seem careful.
I'll stick to Hermes for my 1kg parcels, at least they're convenient for me and so far, touch wood, 100% reliable.

I've found them reliable too, but they don't transport liquids

For all the bad rep they get (and I realise I'm just another anecdote here), I've sent hundreds of things through myhermes with no issue.
I Ebay so much more now knowing I don't have to go to the PO with 20 odd parcels, hermes collect from your door for £3.13 under 1kg. Amazing service and it seems only more expensive than RM if the item is really small. Hate sending through RM so bloody complicated measuring everything to work out if it will fit as large letter, small letter, parcel etc etc.

As long as you are not shipping electronics . . (not insured)

Good company for the person sending, terrible for the person receiving (difficult to re-arrange a delivery if you miss the delivery and their depots are not open to the public for collecting parcels)

Only £1 extra for higher level of insurance

MyHermes have their moments, I've sent perhaps a few hundred parcels with them, and they've screwed a few parcels up, kicked a few beyond recognition, and stolen 2. 1 they stole last week. Bear in mind Royal Mail for small parcels under 2kg, which is cheaper than myhermes for that weight band.
