ParcelForce don't exactly have the cheapest prices for sending next day/48 hour consignments but if you have a PayPal account and prefer being able to send parcels through the post office in your lunch break or whatever for example instead of spending all day waiting in for a courier, you can take advantage of discounted pricing using PayPal as the payment method.
If you log in to PayPal and then go to this URL:
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now
it will take you to a screen where you fill in the recipient details and gives you the postage options/prices available.
This is only supposed to be available to people that sell things on eBay but this seems to work even if you've not sold anything on eBay.
So for example, something that might normally cost you £20.99 to send next day with Parcelforce will only cost you £13.99 or something like that via PayPal.
Of course, there's websites like Parcel2go that offer ParcelForce shipping at cheaper prices perhaps, but there's no way of being able to pay using their account and dropping off your parcel at the Post Office or your local ParcelForce depot.
