Myhermes cheaper on Parcel2go website

Recommended : Parcel2Go

Update : Dec 2015
There is no longer a price difference between myhermes and myhermes via parcel2go for lighter parcels. By using the myhermes site direct you get free £25 compensation whereas you don't via inpost.

About : Cheap(est) ways to send parcels in the UK 

My current advice (Dec 2015) :
If thinking of using myhermes either direct or via inpost for a lighter parcel, use the myhermes site.

Parcel2Go :
I'm very impressed by this site. Their site, and if you have an account their tracking process etc is excellent.  

InPostDirect :  
This is a service Parcel2Go seem to be behind where you can leave parcels at nearby lockers 24/7, rather than handing in to a parcelshop like MyHermes. But they don't seem to give any free compensation cover or free notification of item delivered. For heavier bigger parcels they may be cheapest.   

Update Nov 2015 : MyHermes via P2G does not include any compensation
As someone said on the comments, buying myhermes via P2G does not include any compensation if lost etc. Usually couriers give maybe £25-£30 compensation free. So something to think about (e.g. expensive item lost, no compensation ; cheap item lost, maybe doesn't matter)   

Parcel2Go : Always worth checking
MyHermes :Buy from them direct for lighter parcels rather than parcel2go
InPostDirect : Like them a lot apart from : no free delivered notification, no compensation cover, currently nowhere near cheapest for lighter parcels, but may be cheapest for heavier parcels .

myHermes : £2.78 from parcelshops

Post about cheap parcel delivery service

The newly privatised Royal Mail took the shine off myHermes lowest price service when they introduced their £2.60+ parcel service for small parcels. But now myhermes are big in the running, and aside from price are my favourite for parcels under 1kg (Yodel being my favourite for bigger parcels).

myHermes have new rates for their smaller parcel service
£2.78 for a parcel under 1kg dropped off at a collection shop (check size limitations)
£2.98 to be collected by a courier
£50 free compensation

So Royal Mail is still cheaper for parcels that qualify for the £2.60 price, but only by 18p now, and for the minor price difference and a number of other reasons, I prefer myHermes to Royal Mail. Personally I think 'parcelshops' may become a most popular way of dropping off parcels, and possibly of collecting them.  

Some reasons I prefer myHermes :
It can all be done online and no need to 'top up' account
Dropping off at a shop is much easier. Some are open 24 hours
You could pick courier service if you want
You have 7 days to drop off at any parcelshop
Someone signs for the delivery
You can track it and give the code to the recipient
