BOLTON, ENGLAND, August 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Free delivery has been a key to the success of a new business which has turned from a home-based hobby into a full-time online enterprise for a Norfolk couple.
Martin and Monica Lott set up FYFO.co.uk, and now sell footwear through their own website and on eBay from more than 60 top brands and offering no-cost delivery on all standard orders has helped them hit the ground running since the site was launched at the start of this month.
But according to marketing director of online delivery services agent Parcel2Go.com, Richard Mercer, they are just one of many examples of how getting the right delivery services company on board from the start can give any aspiring business a leg up.
"Millions of British people love selling their unwanted items on eBay, but turning that love into a viable business can be a completely different matter," he said.
"Keeping a close eye on costs is key in this respect, and that's where Parcel2Go has helped so many people's hard work to set up their own thriving company pay off.
"For eBay traders, the cost of sending out their goods can eat up a large chunk of their profits. We aim to make those overheads easier to swallow, by offering them a range of delivery service options suited to both their budgets, and the products they are selling," Mr Mercer added.
Many people are unaware of the sheer scale of the choice of parcel delivery options they have available when going into supplying goods by post, he pointed out.
"Parcel2Go.com has negotiated special deals with a range of leading carriers, so we can help ambitious business owners find a first-class delivery service that doesn't cost them the earth," he said.
About Parcel2Go:
Parcel2Go Ltd has been offering its customers the opportunity to organise a courier to London, Monaco, and everywhere in between, for the past 21 years.
Based in Bolton, the company operates a cost-effective collection and delivery service using couriers such as Parcelforce and DHL throughout the UK, Europe, and countries across the world.

New imaging method sheds light on cell growth
2011-08-27
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — University of Illinois researchers are giving a light answer to the heavy question of cell growth.
Led by electrical and computer engineering professor Gabriel Popescu, the research team developed a new imaging method called spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) that can measure cell mass using two beams of light. Described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the SLIM technique offers new insight into the much-debated problem of whether cells grow at a constant rate or exponentially.
SLIM is extremely sensitive, quantitatively ...
Possible biological control discovered for pathogen devastating amphibians
2011-08-27
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Zoologists at Oregon State University have discovered that a freshwater species of zooplankton will eat a fungal pathogen which is devastating amphibian populations around the world.
This tiny zooplankton, called Daphnia magna, could provide a desperately needed tool for biological control of this deadly fungus, the scientists said, if field studies confirm its efficacy in a natural setting.
The fungus, B. dendrobatidis, is referred to as a "chytrid" fungus, and when it reaches high levels can disrupt electrolyte balance and lead to death from cardiac ...
Uncovering the spread of deadly cancer
2011-08-27
For the first time, scientists can see pathways to stop a deadly brain cancer in its tracks. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have imaged individual cancer cells and the routes they travel as the tumor spreads.
The researchers used a novel cryo-imaging technique to obtain the unprecedented look at a mouse model of glioblastoma multiforme, a particularly aggressive cancer that has no treatments to stop it from spreading.
A description of their work, and images, will be published Sept. 1 in the journal Cancer Research.
"We're able ...
UCSB scientists, telescopes help discover 'once in a generation' supernova
2011-08-27
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– A supernova discovered Wednesday is closer to Earth ––approximately 21 million light years away –– than any other of its kind in a generation. Astronomers believe they caught the supernova within hours of its explosion –– a rare feat for events of this type.
The discovery of a supernova so early in its life, and so close to Earth has energized the astronomical community. Scientists around the world are scrambling to observe it with as many telescopes as possible, including the Hubble Space Telescope, and telescopes from the UC Santa Barbara-affiliated ...
Results of medication studies in top medical journals may be misleading to readers
2011-08-27
Studies about medications published in the most influential medical journals are frequently designed in a way that yields misleading or confusing results, new research suggests.
Investigators from the medical schools at UCLA and Harvard analyzed all the randomized medication trials published in the six highest-impact general medicine journals between June 1, 2008, and Sept. 30, 2010, to determine the prevalence of three types of outcome measures that make data interpretation difficult.
In addition, they reviewed each study's abstract to determine the percentage ...

Texas Marital Fraud: How to Tell If Your Spouse is Hiding Assets
2011-08-27
Unfortunately, divorce often brings out the less seemly side of those people we once loved.
