	It seems the courier i was using has raised their flat rate of £6 to £16.33 I'm hoping to get some kind of explanation but in the meantime i need to find some alternatives My business is selling car parts on ebay and would like a flat rate up to say 30kg (like i had until today) the largest items i send are bootlids and bonnets (120x120x10cm 15kg) I maybe had too much of a good deal but it has gone the other way what are the options? I send around 50 parcels a week

	All couriers prices are rising quite rapidly at the moment. Even my Hermes have just put their prices up again. Cheapest I can find to move a 14kg parcel is around £12 at the mo, more if you need more than £25 of cover on it.

	I'm going into my old work today, they have an account with UPS. I'll have a look at the tariff for you. I was using them for about a year and service was brilliant, all web based and the price for pre 12 or 10.30 is ace and the customer is kept up to date automatically by email.

	One of their reasons for putting prices up? Fuel costs,well fuels down and most of the work is done by subbbies so the fuel costs Are down to owner drivers.....the parcel industry is one big rip off by the main players.....use a smaller carrier like APC better service
