Don't let your summer holiday purchases get lost, says Parcel2Go

With millions of Brits due to head off on their annual summer holiday over the next couple of months, Parcel2Go has reminded people to make sure their pre-holiday internet purchases don't get lost in the mail.

Sunglasses, toiletries, bikinis, books and digital cameras will all be bought online in their thousands over the coming weeks as people get ready to head for the sun. But Bolton-based online parcel delivery firm has called on consumers to only make purchases though websites that offer delivery through reliable courier companies if they want their goods to turn up as expected.

"It sounds simple, but it's amazing how many people forget to check that their goods will be shipped with a trustworthy courier firm when they buy online," said Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go.

"The best companies will allow customers to choose to have their items shipped with the leading firms in the business – companies like Parcel Force, FedEx and City Link. It is these companies that have the necessary experience to make sure that holiday purchases arrive on time. After all, there's no point in having your new camera waiting for you when you return from holiday!"

An increasing number of online retailers have now realised the benefit of offering their customers delivery solutions from the industry's top firms, including businesses that trade through online auction and retailer websites such as eBay.

"Demand for cheap, fast and reliable courier services has never been greater, but it is still up to consumers to ensure they do business with firms that make these delivery services available as standard," Richard added.
