Here at Bongo Mission Control we send stuff out all over the UK (and beyond) on a daily basis. And there is no reason why members of the club can't "piggy back" on to our contracted courier services, allowing you to receive discounted rates. So we have come up with the Bongo Relay service. If you have an item that needs posting within the UK, and it weighs between 5 kgs and 25 kgs (which is the upper limit), you will find that this will work out considerably cheaper than taking your stuff down the Post Office. Plus, it can be collected from your home, neighbour's or work address. See here for more details.
