OMs - cost of courier for a wedding dress?!

Hi

When I had to send my dress to a seamstress for alterations I sent it with royal mail. It did cost £80 though. Most of that was for the insurance as it was worth so much. (insured for £1600) I had to do it in a rush so didn't have time to look into couriers though.

I know others don't rate them but we use myhermes for all our courier things. They are really reasonably priced and have always been faster than the 3-5 day service option we pay for.

I know who not to use- DHL their customer service is shocking!

Dont use yodel.

I was buying several things from a company that used yodal and NONE of it arrived! 3 items ordered at 3 different times!

Citylink?

Thanks all! will try a few of those (avoiding yodel and DHL!)

Yodel is the new name for the merged DHL & Home Delivery Network - the original 2 companies were pants as is the new one!

Wow, getting a wedding dress delivered safely and affordably can be stressful — especially if you’re worried about tracking and delivery updates.

When you’re comparing courier options, it really helps to choose one that gives you real-time tracking and clear status info from pickup to delivery. In my experience, tools like postex tracking can make it easier to follow a shipment’s progress and estimate delivery time, which is a huge relief when you’re waiting on something as important as a dress. Good luck with your plans – hope you find a reliable courier that gives you peace of mind!

Keeping track of an online order is much easier when you have access to a convenient tracking resource.

Having your tracking number ready can help you check the latest available delivery updates and stay informed about your package's progress.

1. Congratulations on selling your wedding dress! Since it’s packed in an acid-free box and is quite bulky, I’d recommend comparing a few courier services before booking. Companies like DPD, DHL and Parcelforce are worth checking, but the price will depend on the box dimensions, weight and destination. Make sure you measure the package carefully and choose tracked delivery with suitable insurance, as the dress is valuable and delicate. I’d also check that the courier accepts the box size before paying. It’s always worth comparing prices, just as you would before spending money on something like an online casino, where costs can credit card casinos add up quickly.
