Hi Everyone,

Hope you’re having a good week so far. As usual I’ve been up and down the country from one postcode to another with parcel deliveries. However on Sunday 10th June I decided to get my running shoes on and raise money for charity by taking part in The Great Midlands Fun Run.

The Great Midlands Fun Run is an 8.5 mile course but it’s not a race and anyone and everyone can take part. I was raising money for The Birmingham Children’s Hospital and to raise that little bit extra me and my friends carried a bath tub the whole way so supporters could throw in some extra money whilst on route.

It was a great day with a fantastic turnout, I managed to finish the run (bath in tow) in 2 hours and 11 minutes, just take a look at some of the pictures:

No rest for the wicked though, I’m back out on the road making my next day deliveries and collecting parcels from your homes and places of work.  Don’t forget you can also save £1.00 by dropping your parcels at one of our local depots.

Father’s day is fast approaching… Sunday 17th to be exact. Here at ipostparcels.com we’ve been very busy delivering parcels to Fathers all around the UK. From small to large we’ve been collecting parcels day in day out and we’re sure there will be some very happy Dad’s this Sunday!

Gift Ideas

The ipostparcels.com team have put our creative thinking caps on and come up with a few little ideas for you to treat your Dad to this Sunday:

> New dads or dads to be- an alarm clock! Say’s it all really, gone are the days of lie in’s its now 6am starts, kids to spruce and school runs.

> Dads keepsake box- this idea is one of our fave’s and is a lovely sentiment.  Get yourself a deep metal box (very manly) and fill with a few pictures/items that mean something to get him started. He can then continue to add his own little treasures in that remind him of the joys of being a Dad.

So with some new ideas to think about and only a few days left till Sunday our next day service can help you put a smile on your Dad’s face.

In the past, the types of parcel delivery service available to people were slow and inefficient. However, over recent times, such provisions have come on leaps and bounds and they are now extremely sophisticated and effective.

This is in part thanks to improvements in the transport network around the UK. However, this can only take some of the credit. After all, while the roads and vehicles that use them have been getting better, the volume of traffic on the highways has also risen, causing increased congestion.

One of the main causes for the enhancements in parcel collection and delivery provisions stems from the fact that innovative and dedicated firms like us here at ipostparcels have been established.

We know all there is to know when it comes to moving parcels around the UK. Meanwhile, we utilise the internet to optimum effect, helping to make our offerings more competitive and efficient.

Thanks to us and organisations like us, it is now possible to benefit from guaranteed next day delivery and other such services from only £3.74 +vat.  So, if you need to book such assistance in a hurry, you have come to the right place.

And technology has also enabled us to boost customer service. For example, if you make an order with us, you can track its progress online using your unique order ID number.

These days, rather than having to queue for long periods of time to drop your parcels off at your local post office, you can now simply arrange for the parcels to be picked up from your home or workplace.

Hi all, its Parcel Pete here, hope you’ve all been enjoying this lovely weather we’ve been experiencing, I know I certainly have!

Over the past 2 weeks I’ve been busy collecting your parcels and making sure they get delivered the next day. As well as the usual delivery rounds some of you may have seen me at the ExCel Centre in London on Thursday 17th and Friday 18th May 2012. I, along with the ipostparcels.com team and UK Mail and imail team set up stand at the Business Start-up show and boy did we have fun!

We met some great people and some bright entrepreneurs to look out for in the future.  Take a look at some of the pictures on our Facebook page:

It is fair to say that times are still pretty tough at the moment. And with the Government being advised to make even more cuts in public spending, the average British citizen will seemingly just have to get used to having less money in their wallets for a little while to come.

Of course, we British know how to deal with a crisis like this – we moan. And then after that we’ll have a cup of tea. However, after a bit more moaning, we will eventually come to the conclusion that we can all do something to make things a little bit easier for ourselves.

Here at ipostparcels, we know how hard it is for everyone to keep their heads above the water these days and that is why we want to do our bit to help make things a little easier. To this end, we have decided to lower the price of our signature option from £0.89 to £0.69 as well as our extended cover for parcel values of up to £100 from £0.95 to £0.49.

Indeed, our range of cheap parcel delivery methods start from as little as £3.74 +vat so our customers can source the finest next day parcel collection and delivery services and save themselves some money in the process.

So, next time you want to save a quid or two, make sure you come to us here at ipostparcels for your parcel delivery needs.

It’s been a very busy few days over here at ipostparcels.com, I’ve been out on the road collecting and delivering all your parcels. But it’s not just the collecting and delivering that’s part of the service, the sorting of where your parcel goes is crucial to ensure it arrives at the right address.  I decided to pay our Crawley depot a visit recently to give them a hand sorting out some of your parcels.

Whilst on my depot visit I got myself stuck in with the rest of team, unloading parcels, driving the forklift to pick up pallets, answering phone calls and I even managed to get a cup of tea!  To see more pictures of my Crawley depot visit go onto our Facebook page for the full album of what I got up to: http://www.facebook.com/#!/ipostparcels

Don’t forget, you can drop your parcels off to your local depot and save that bit extra.

Most of us know May Day as a bank holiday, a day off work, an excuse to go out on Sunday night and rest it off the next day without having to worry about work. However, there is more to it than just a public day off, May Day traditions date back over 2000 years ago and has various meanings behind it.

May Day is Beltane, which means 'day of fire'. It is an ancient Pagan festival. Bel was the Celtic God of the sun. Many types of May Day celebrations date back to fertility rituals performed in pagan times. This is particularly true of events to celebrate Flora, a Roman goddess of flowers this included making floral garlands, decorating houses with flowers and leaves and crowning a May queen as a living image of the Roman goddess Flora. In some areas, girls go out very early to wash their faces in the morning dew. This is supposed to make them very beautiful in the coming year.

In some parts of the UK traditional English May Day celebrations are still carried out in communities which include Morris dancing, crowning a May Queen and dancing around a Maypole, children, particularly girls, dance around a tall pole, from which ribbons are suspended.

May Day is also known as International Workers Day, a day for large marches, particularly London, to celebrate and demand rights for workers.

The May Day bank holiday was created in 1978, the first Monday of the month of May is a day off for most to mark the traditional May Day celebrations.  So whether you’re taking part in a bit of Morris dancing or having a few in your local, make sure you enjoy yourself as we all know Parcel Pete will be.

Don’t forget, there won’t be any collections or deliveries taking place on May Day 2012 (7th May) due to all the festivities. Normal service will resume as of Tuesday 8th May 2012, Parcel Pete will be back on the road collecting and delivering your parcels.
