Post ParcelForce discriminate against UK Linux users!

I tried to book a collection today for an item I had sold on eBay. I was shocked and dismayed to find that when I visited the www.Parcelforce.com website to book the collection, as I had done countless times before, I was told by the webportal that as I am using a Linux operating system I am not permitted to place an order. I think this is disgusting!

Fortunately for me, I mentioned it to a friend. They advised me without hesitation to use a far superior and more cost effective service. It goes by the name of InterParcel. Google them and try them out. They arranged the collection for me for £7.99 using the DHL 48 hour service. I asked me friend to compare this price for me using the same order details. I was even more amazed when he informed me that the same collection with ParcelForce (had I been allowed to order!), would have cost £20.50.

ParcelForce cannot be forgiven for discriminating in such a pathetic and unreasonable way. They will not receive my business ever again.
