It's the holiday season and Parcel Pete’s jetted off to the gorgeous Italy for a week for a bit of relaxation as well as delivering some of your parcels in Italy too!

Here at ipostparcels.com, we’ve had Parcel Pete keeping us up to date with his journey with pictures of the different parts of Italy he’s been visiting.

Competition:

So we’ve put together a little Italian competition seeing as though Parcel Pete’s over there at the mo!

It’s our usual competition where we ask you to retweet, like and share our posts on Twitter and Facebook.  This time round we’ll also be posting up snaps of Parcel Pete on holiday so you have to guess exactly which part of Italy he’s in.

The more you RT/Like/Share and answer the q’s correctly the more chances you have of winning £50’s worth of yummy Jamie’s Italian Restaurant vouchers. 

Jamie Oliver’s Special Delivery:

You may be thinking why did Parcel Pete decide to visit Italy? Well, not only do we ship parcels to Italy but we also recently made some special deliveries to the Jamie’s Italian restaurants across the UK, which gave him the taste for wanting more of the Italian culture.

We delivered some laptops which were needed for training purposes; we collected the laptops from one restaurant and delivered to the next and so on, just in time for their training workshops.

Whilst on his delivery round, Parcel Pete decided to buy £50’s vouchers for Jamie’s Italian for one lucky winner which can be used at any of the Jamie’s restaurants across the UK!

So if you fancy your chances of winning, make sure you enter our competition.

But hurry, competition closes at 11.59pm on Tuesday 16th July and there will only be one winner!

When a person requires the services of a parcel courier company it can be difficult to decide on which ones are best. Also, there are so many numerous companies, selecting one that you can rely on can be overwhelming. However, there are many different things to look for that will help you choose the perfect service for your needs.

Important Factors

One of the most important factors to consider when looking through courier companies is a delivery service that guarantees to deliver your parcels at their destination at the stated date/time. The items also should be secure in their original condition; they should not be mishandled or damaged when they reach the recipient. Look into the history of the company and whether their existing customers have been satisfied with the service they have received. The type of service you require will also affect which service you chose. For instance, if you need next day delivery you need to opt for a company that is widespread enough to deliver your package in this time.

It is not just about the price!

The price does not typically reflect the quality; it is better to look at reliability. If you can get both low cost and good service then you've hit the jackpot! Parcel tracking is always a good idea so check whether a company provides this service. Knowing your parcel has been collected and delivered successfully gives peace of mind and avoids any failure to deliver so delivery notification are very helpful. When sending more valuable goods such as electricals, it is wise to consider extra cover to give you peace of mind. If limited free cover is offered check up to what value this is and insure you are sufficiently covered.
