Worked for me, sending a parcel from North London area to the West Midlands. Typed LEEDSHERMES into the coupon code and it deducted £2.29, which is the cost of a small parcel with no extras.

Fantastic! Thanks OP, just tried this for a parcel I'm sending via a parcel shop drop off in London, its discounted the full amount so looks you can send from anywhere not just Leeds X)

Good deal then if it's working for all. Got some ebay items ending soon will you be able to use it more than once ?

Would only allow me to send ONE free parcel (saving £2.79) also it doesn't discount extras like enhanced cover or signature upon delivery. Still great though :smile:

Is it online only ? as if i went to the parcel shop could i do it in store with the code nothing in the website about this . I was thinking set up extra accounts for the discounts or do it online and instore .

You can't ever do it in the parcel shop, I'm afraid, it has to be online so that you can print out the address label with barcode. Do it with different accounts. They say in their t&c's that you can only have one account, but that is ridiculous, I need to keep my ebay accounts seperate to link them to the myhermes import service, so have one for each of 3. Does no-one any harm.

Just checked my hermes account and I have sent 435 parcel with them, approx 5 had issues, most of those 5 I was fully refunded for the item and the postage. Royal Mail I have sent about 25 parcels, approx 5 of those had issues, RM refused to pay out for all but 1 of those.
So I would have to say, as poor as Hermes are with some things they have a far higher success rate for me then royal mail.

Knack it saved me the small parcel fee which was £2.79 from hermes website. I ended paying only 60p which was the extra for the protection of upto £40. Hope it helps.

The big problem I find with Hermes is they use contract drivers. Where I am, these drivers are absolutely rubbish, where my mate is 50 miles down the road, they seem fine.
It took them 3 attempts to deliver a CD to my work address - there's 200 people in here and they had the cheek to say there was nobody available. Then they tried delivering it at 9pm on a Saturday night (despite knowing it was a commercial address) and finally they managed to find the letterbox on the Monday. Unfortunately for them, we are a CCTV company and have cameras all round the building. They hadn't showed either the Friday or the Saturday despite the alleged missed delivery notifications.
That's just one example, I've had others. They strike fear in my heart when I hear a package I'm waiting for is with them. I've similarly got 500+ on eBay and use Royal Mail all the time, but I've only ever had 1 package go missing with RM. And despite having to wait many weeks to get them to send me compensation, it was paid without dispute.
At least when your package doesn't arrive, you'll get your £0.00 postage cost refunded quickly enough :grin:

In my experience Hermes are good , sent 3 parcels (2 big) all received quickly . Received a lot more here at home and the woman whose round it seems to be is excellent . Lot of competition out there so they have to be good . Royal Mail are very good too .

Do not use this company, my parcel was tracked to my local depot then to the (contracted) driver - who went missing! It is near impossible to get to speak to anyone and they won't allow you to collect from the depot. I was told so many lies, saying they tried to deliver (but no card was left & I was in at the times stated!) I would prefer to pay the royal mail.

free or discounted, it will still be chucked under your hedge, left out in the rain, or be stolen by garden gnomes. I'd not use myhermes by choice even if they paid me, never mind free.

They dont pick up from me 9 times out of 10 and sometimes lie about coming to deliver, but never had anything go missing fingers x this parcel i just sent will be ok.
