BOLTON, ENGLAND, June 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) Small firms feeling the squeeze following the Royal Mail's decision to increase the price of first and second class stamps at the end of last month are being offered a helping hand by Bolton-based online parcel delivery firm Parcel2Go.
The company says businesses and individuals can try to beat the Royal Mail price increase by becoming Parcel2Go users and benefiting from the vast range of reliable and cost-effective UK express delivery solutions available through the website.
With just a few clicks of a mouse, customers can order delivery services from some of the world's major courier companies such as FedEx, Parcelforce and Yodel. Changes to the way Royal Mail prices parcels means people will be better off sending any consignment weighing more than 750g through Parcel2Go.
Parcel2Go's marketing director Richard Mercer said: "We understand how much pressure consumers and small businesses are under at the moment, which is why we are urging people to see if they are able to get a better deal on their package deliveries through the Parcel2Go website.
"Our quick quote function makes it simple and extremely fast to get a price for a delivery, but that simple move could result in a sizable saving. What's more, because we only deal with the world's top courier firms, individuals and businesses always know their consignments are in safe hands."
Convenience matters to everyone, which is why the Collect+ services available through Parcel2Go have become so popular. Customers not able to meet a courier to pick up their package can choose instead to drop it off at one of the 3,000 corner shops and convenience stores in the UK that make up the Collect+ network.
"Convenience, speed, reliability and affordability are what we're about," said Mr Mercer. "We're calling on everyone affected by the recent Royal Mail price hike to see if they could save, and get a better service though Parcel2Go."

Prompt Proofing Blog Post: Marketing Tips: Email Marketing Campaigns
2012-06-08
According to the Direct Marketing Association, email marketing campaigns produce an average return of more than $50 for each dollar spent. Given that email marketing is pretty cost effective anyway, this statistic does make it seem a no-brainer.
Certainly, we at Prompt Proofing have noticed that, whenever we send out a mass email, it generates new orders. These orders come from our existing customers, since they are the ones who have agreed to receive email from us. If people have not used your services, or purchased one of your products, for a while, you may well have ...
A different drummer: Stanford engineers discover neural rhythms drive physical movement
2012-06-05
Unlike their visual cousins, the neurons that control movement are not a predictable bunch. Scientists working to decode how such neurons convey information to muscles have been stymied when trying to establish a one-to-one relationship between a neuron's behavior and external factors such as muscle activity or movement velocity.
In an article published online June 3rd by the journal Nature, a team of electrical engineers and neuroscientists working at Stanford University propose a new theory of the brain activity behind arm movements. Their theory is a significant departure ...
Study suggests expanding the genetic alphabet may be easier than previously thought
2012-06-05
LA JOLLA, CA – A new study led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute suggests that the replication process for DNA—the genetic instructions for living organisms that is composed of four bases (C, G, A and T)—is more open to unnatural letters than had previously been thought. An expanded "DNA alphabet" could carry more information than natural DNA, potentially coding for a much wider range of molecules and enabling a variety of powerful applications, from precise molecular probes and nanomachines to useful new life forms.
The new study, which appears in the June ...
Rhythmic firing of nerve cells involved in body's movements
2012-06-05
A new model for understanding how nerve cells in the brain control movement may help unlock the secrets of the motor cortex, a critical region that has long resisted scientists' efforts to understand it, researchers report June 3 in Nature.
Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis, Stanford University and Columbia University have shown that the motor cortex's effects on movement can be much more easily understood by looking at groups of motor cortex neurons instead of individual nerve cells. In the study, scientists identified rhythmic brain cell firing patterns ...
Lower income patients less likely to participate in cancer clinical trials
2012-06-05
MAYWOOD, Il. -- Lower-income cancer patients are less likely to participate in cancer clinical trials, according to a study co-authored by Loyola University Medical Center oncologist Kathy Albain, MD, FACP.
Patients with incomes of less than $50,000 per year were 27 percent less likely than higher-income patients to participate in clinical trials, and those with incomes less than $20,000 were 44 percent less likely to participate.
Fifty-three percent of patients with incomes less than $20,000 per year expressed concerns about their costs of participating in clinical trials. ...
New breast cancer drug halts tumor growth better than standard therapy
2012-06-05
DURHAM, N.C. – A new cancer treatment that links chemotherapy with an agent that homes in on specific breast cancer cells was significantly better than the current drug regimen at keeping patients' advanced tumors from progressing, according to results from a Phase III clinical trial led by Kimberly Blackwell, M.D., of the Duke Cancer Institute.
Participants with invasive breast cancer who took the investigational drug, called trastuzumab emtansine, or T-DM1, also had fewer and less harsh side effects than study participants who received a standard treatment.
The ...
'Most comprehensive' genetic analysis of maize plant will help raise yields, expand its range
2012-06-05
Cold Spring Harbor, NY and Washington, DC – An international research team involving 17 institutions including Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has published the most comprehensive analysis to date of the maize genome. It is an achievement that substantially increases scientists' understanding of differences across related but different species of the plant, which most North Americans call corn, as well as the nature of differences found within individual maize species.
The research is expected to speed development of improved varieties of corn, which is one of the ...
New hope for migraine sufferers
2012-06-05
New hope has arrived for migraine sufferers following a Griffith University study with the people of Norfolk Island.
Led by Professor Lyn Griffiths from the University's Griffith Health Institute,
the team has identified a new region on the X chromosome as playing a role in migraine.
The research provides compelling evidence for a new migraine susceptibility gene involved in migraine. The study also indicated that there may be more than one X chromosomal gene involved and implicated a gene involved in iron regulation in the brain.
All females have two X chromosomes ...
