Mail Boxes Etc in Edinburgh are just a franchise of MBE, nothing more. But they are quite rare amongst Mail Boxes Et Cetera's in that they are VERY expensive. You see, they are one of the very few MBE's that require you to use their shipping (courier) account (for Fedex, UPS, ParcelForce, DHL, etc.). What this means is you pay the full one off (uneducated person's) retail shipping rate, and MBE Edinburgh make a big fat commission from you, on top of their "quite" high collection and packing charges.
So, if you like paying 2 or 3 times what you need to, by all means, use Mail Boxes Etc Edinburgh. If not, we REALLY recommend David Burgess (who can pack for you) and Parcel2go (wholesale courier / shipping rates consolidator for UPS, Fedex, DHL and ParcelForce). Really, see how easy it is and how much you can save!
