That was just an example of costs from 1.99 to use locker to locker as opposed to 2.70 tracked RM with a lot more Sue to it too, and no weight limit for most things
no I don’t use inpost here, only on vinted
If I did it would be to home probably
Ps don’t know where you live but inpost lockers are just as prevalent as evri shops in my experience
I’ve just been promoting the good aspects of inpost over other choices, cost,reliability,etc can’t remember how it all started now
Inpost locker to locker versus RM which can be house to house is perhaps not a fair comparison.
I used to use Evri and for a while I used Inpost lockers as a way of getting stuff into the Evri system. On several occasions the locker that the system chose would not open and after a a few clunks and clicks another one would open. It occurred to me to wonder what would happen if a locker with one of my parcels inside failed to open for the Evri courier? How long would it take to sort out?
Another disadvantage with lockers is, you roll up (in my case ten mile round trip) to deposit your parcel and find they are all in use.
When I was using Evri a month did not go by without some problem. Parcel lost. Parcel "stuck" with no movement for days. I felt the need to monitor every parcel to check its progress, and was regularly having to contact Evri. Since I transferred my allegiance to RM a couple of years ago do you know how many issues I have had? It is a very round number. And in the vast majority of cases collection from my porch to delivery is two days. Well worth the extra cost IMHO.
