Delivering car tyres
Got a garage on my round getting car tyres coming Tracked. No postage cost on label can't help thinking it's some dodgy postage .. should they be Parcelforce ?

It's a 30Kg limit for Tracked. PF offload a bit of stuff onto RM if they get blown out

So many reasons why we are in the position we are in, we are competing against ourselves RM Tracked is cheaper than parcel force that is why they use it

Re: Delivering car tyres
It’s becoming a serious health and safety issue with the weight of some items coming through the network. Just last week I handled some weightlifting weights. Nothing is labelled up heavy or colour coded to say it is.

If they are overloaded with work. Currently the only stuff I know of is the Addidas stuff. I don't know what the prices are of Tracked v PF, maybe Tracked is cheaper than PF77SAMPOST77 wrote: ↑03 Apr 2023, 09:52What do you mean by blown out ?SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑02 Apr 2023, 20:26It's a 30Kg limit for Tracked.

If royal mail are getting large tracked items it is because the customer is sending them via royal mail because it is cheaper up to 20 kilo for a medium parcel .
