Not sure if use to many but definitely for me as a eBay seller as it saves money on the smaller parcel but saving money if it weighs more :smiley:

At myHermes, we’re always striving to improve the value of our service. Having reviewed our offer, we’ve decided to change our weights and dimensions to compete with all of our competitors, including Royal Mail and we are introducing a new range of weight bands for smaller and medium sized parcels.
This is great news, as revising our parcel weight bands now makes it easier for you to compare prices, with the introduction of two new weight bands: “0-2kg Small” and “0-2kg Medium”.
This means that if you are sending a parcel that weighs 2kg or under:
If the size does not exceed 45cm (L) x 35cm (H)x 16cm (W) you will be able to take advantage of our small parcel category.
If the size exceeds the small parcel, you can opt for the medium parcel category, with maximum dimensions of 61cm (L) x 46cm (H) x 46cm (H).
Our upper weight and dimension limits will not change allowing you to send parcels weighing over 2kg up to 15kg and a maximum length of 120cm, with combined dimensions of 245cm. See our parcel size page here.
Update
The myHermes prices have been updated and will show the cost of a small or medium parcel from 00:00 on Wednesday 17th August. The prices of a “0-2kg Small” parcel will cost from £2.75 (inc VAT) and the price of a “0-2kg Medium” parcel will cost from £3.95 (inc VAT).

This is a PRICE INCREASE!
0-1kg was always £2.75 (Google: hermes prices)
Medium sized parcels 0-1kg now cost £1.20 each MORE!
THIS IS A MASSIVE INCREASE!
The only reduction is 1-2kg small sized parcel that most people won't benefit from, as small sized parcels are mostly under 1kg.
Amazing how this price is increase is so well disguised, people are voting hot!
Introducing sizing for parcels is a real bother as you now need to pull out the tape measure every time you book a parcel.
Hermes didn't even claim it is a price reduction. They say it is "great news" because it is now easier for you to "compare prices".

Throw away? That's what they do to the packages they are entrusted to deliver.
I had 2 parcels 'tossed' last December and loads of hassle to get any reply from their electronic-form-only 'customer services' and therefore compensation. Both items were tracked and listed by Hermes as 'posted through postbox'. Great, except neither package could fit through a postbox!
An 'investigation' lead to 'we don't know what happened to your parcels'. Fat lot of good having tracking then!
I've sent hundreds of parcels through Royal Mail and I've not had one go missing. I only used MyHermes because they had a promotion on and were 10p cheaper than Royal Mail. By comparrison, Hermes 2 lost from 3? Don't let this happen to you.

Haha, I heard somewhere that house is owned by ordinary Joes who are SICK of Breaking Bad fans visiting and throwing pizza up there :stuck_out_tongue: They should charge admission.
Hermes are great, if you're in the city. If you're out in the sticks, the self-employed driver goes AWOL for days - it says "Out For Delivery" but it's a lottery whether it will actually appear that day. Usually they mark it as "addressee not at home" (when they haven't even appeared) and the wait drags on...
Hermes told me that drivers in rural areas wait until they have enough parcels in the locality to make it worth their while, but they shouldn't mess customers around.

Don't be so sure, had 2 items lost in the last 3 months with RM. Both happened to be £100 worth of clothing - Coincidence?
Never had an issue with Hermes.
