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!

With the weather the way it is and forecasts predicting even more downpour in the days to come we’re all looking for alternative things to do to keep us busy and out of the blistering winds and torrential rain.
Traditionally spring cleaning is carried out on the first few days of Spring when the warm rays of sunshine break through the winter gloom that our minds turn to the cleaning up of the effects of the winter storms and the short dull days. Or is it? As soon as we get a bit of sun we can’t think of anything better to do than getting out the house and enjoying the Spring warmth.
Here at ipostparcels.com we think now is an ideal opportunity to tackle those lofts and garages piling up with ‘junk’ as well as getting the curtains down for a good wash and a bit of polish on that silverware. What better way to pass those dull boring showers that are set for the coming weekend!
So get your rubber gloves and bin liners at the ready to dust and de-clutter your homes. And you never know, whilst you’re de-cluttering you may come across some things that could be worth selling on eBay, you know what they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Some items may not be worth selling so why not donate to your local charity shop. Not only will ipostparcels.com be able to take this unwanted clutter from you, we’ll also save you a few penny’s by giving you an extra 10% off just use the voucher code SPRING04.
Don’t forget if you do decide to sell or donate some of your findings from your spring clean, you don’t even need to step out the house to send, we’ll get Parcel Pete to come out straight to you to collect your parcel and deliver it the next day. Bonus, with weather like this!
