Comic Relief is coming soon………….

…maybe this year, with the economy and news being as they are, we all need a bit of a laugh.

…and to remember those who really are less fortunate than most of us.

So stuff2send.com has decided to support BigJokeBook. A great way to share a laugh with thousands of others, brighten up someone’s day, and raise a little bit of money to help others. £1 is not much, but from a lot of people, can add up to changing someone’s life.

So as we all listen to the news, in amazement, and wonder if a bit of snow really is really as “Terrible” as they say, lets remember what matters….and spare a thought for those who really are up against it.

…and save money.

White van drivers now make up 10% of road traffic, according to recent figures, with about 3.3 million vans on the road. And the growth is being helped by both online shopping and an increase in ”recycling”  (ebay, freecycle, swapz etc).

White van drivers no longer have to rely just on business coming to them; using stuff2send, at very low cost, they can bid on items all over the country, opening up massive opportunities for them. 

In addition, any driver can also use stuff2send to bid for items on journeys they’re already going to do, taking a small contribution to their fuel costs.

How does this help?

People sending items that are heavy, oversize, or can’t afford a parcel courier company, can now save costs on packaging and sending, by using stuff2send, and broadcasting their items to the growing number of drivers on the site. They get a better deal and save costs, and drivers get some extra cash in the pocket.

Better for everyone….and it’s greener too…… it helps cut down on excess road traffic, making better use of existing journeys.

If you’ve used stuff2send.com, as a sender, or a carrier, then we want to hear from you.

We have some ”press” chappies eager to print some real-world stories of “normal” people using this kind of service.

And the more unusual the item, the better! Also think turning stereotypes upside down….lady delivers dog cage to bloke! That kind of thing.

No spoofs please….real people, real items, real sending / delivering.

If you have a story, contact us here on the blog, through the site or on the facebook group.

….you can now upload your eBay items direct into stuff2send.com!

Just type in the ebay id number,  and we’ll fetch the name & item description. Easy, simple, fast!

So now moving the stuff you’ve bought (or sold) on ebay just got loads easier.

Tip: Edit your item description (scroll to the bottom of the description and delete excess words etc).

Due to the rapid take-up of stuff2send, we have brought forward plans to upgrade the site design, and will be doing so…at the end of this week!

The new design will include clearer navigation, a dashboard of “items ending soon” and “telephone offers” as well as clearer navigation for you all.

We also have a blog, so you can comment direct to us your thoughts, feedback and stories, so we can all share, make the site better and better for you, and grow the community.

Lift-sharing for parcels…….the responsible and intelligent way to send stuff
