Gardener Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have to return an item to M and S Fr and they box that they sent it in is massive. Any ideas of courier companies that I could use that aren't too pricey ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have used this outfit for delivery to our nearest Point Relais, which costs a lot less than La Poste.http://www.mondialrelay.fr/I haven't tried their "Home" service, which I guess you would need for your parcel, but it may be worth comparing with LP. Edit: Can't you return your item in a smaller box? I think the requirement for items to be returned in their original packing refers to immediate packing, not that used for shipment.

Clair Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It looks as if you have no choice.Their T&C state that "Les retours doivent être effectués par Votre Bureau de Poste local comme par exemple la Royal Mail ou La Poste. Pour tout retour, nous recommandons que Vous obteniez un reçu prouvant l’envoi puisque si Vos produits ne nous sont pas livrés, Nous pourrions Vous demander la preuve qu’ils nous ont bien été envoyés."

Gardener Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have been unable to get the home option to work, it asks me to choose a point relais so I don't think that will be an option. Thanks all the same .I will see if I can send it directly back to the uk through parcels please as that will work out cheaper though not cheap!

nomoss Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sorry 'bout that. Looks like they are not really up and running properly[:(] An item I bought on Le Bon Coin was sent to me via this outfit, so I have experience only as a recipient.The website is like so many others I have come across here - doesn't quite work as one would expect. Maybe just that the logic is different[:D] Edit: For sending to UK, http://www.gwizzcouriers.co.uk/ are also very competitiveI also use http://www.interparcel.com/ , who give a small discount to registered users.The prices vary from time to time, so I usually compare these two plus the one you use.

Loiseau Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Do you know anybody driving back to the UK, who could at least get it the right side of the Channel before posting it?Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommier Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It's worth working out how much it's going to cost to return the item before deciding if it's worth it, or whether it would be easier/cheaper to re-sell on Leboncoin or AI or similar.

mint Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Alternatively, I'm NEVER too proud to accept with gratitude anything that doesn't fit anyone else as I am now reasonably slender and I don't mind if things are a bit on the large side [:D]Regards to Mrs G .....plenty of walks and absolutely no carbs or alcohol![:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
