Two questions

I have a large BNIB car-seat to sell - what is best way of offering shipping - which are the best couriers? As imagine Royal Mail/P Force will be ££££££

Also I am selling some toddler clothes for a friend,some good names in there (timberland, Gap, few nike bits)
Is it better to do a bundle (IIRC they are all the same size) or sell em separately?

TIA, clever MNers, you are so wise and I KNOW you can help me with this one

Use this website for good courier info/deals courier site - you could also say 'pick up only' so there's no postage costs at all. If you're not happy letting people know where you live you can arrange a public meeting place

As for the clothes - I'd be inclined to sell as a bundle meself, but that's just cos I couldn't be mithered doing separate listings for each - plus if there's a listing fee for each item it would mount up a fair bit

Unless you start them all at 99p, then its free to list. But you run the chance of the items selling for just 99p.

Thanks both
99p listing thing is interesting - what about shipping costs though?

I sent a car seat Interparcel too - was very happy with them. Actually though if you are sending it to mainland UK you may find Royal Mail Standard Service cost (APRROX £10) pretty competitive as no restrictions on size of parcel - and you get the bonus of dropping off at PO rather than waiting in for pick-up.
I found my parcel way too big for usual "send a parcel for £7 etc offers". quoted around £30 by some !! but Interparcel price very good.

BTW buyers will be prepared to pay the £12 odd postage on a large item.
