The postal service is lurching from one crisis to another, but all is not lost for the public, as Parcel2Go is here to save the day.

According to the Guardian, using companies like Parcel2Go to get your mail to where it needs to be is the best option available to consumers, with these firms able to deliver to anywhere.

Writer Leo Benedictus said the cost of sending his letter from London to Newcastle with Parcel2Go was around £7.50, including VAT, which is what it would also cost to send a hefty 1kg package.

On top of that, somebody will come round to the house and pick up the goods, meaning people don't even need to leave their homes if they don't want to.

Another option available is to use services like DHL's Servicepoint system, where people can take their letters to participating retailers, package it up in the appropriate DHL carton and pay a flat rate at the till.

Whichever option consumers choose, they can rest assured that Parcel2Go can get their parcels where they need to be in less than two days.
