Strange, I haven't met anyone who refers to a third party company in the first person. Quite bizarre.

The main courier thread is moderated and started by a forum manager so I will merge this post with that one so it is all in the same place.

I used www.parceldrop.co.uk
Cost £7.25 inc vat.
They never pickedup, never replied to emails, never replied to messages left on their voicemail, never got to speak to a human on the phone.
I informed my credit card company and they cancelled the card in case it had been "compromised" and thats the last I heard

'you recently used our booking form but didn't complete checkout- was there a problem?'

i had this last week, i explained i was checking to see how easy there order process was and to find out a bit more about the service (as there are so many different options).

the fact i didn't go ahead with the order says it all.

i will be using one of the companies suggested tomorrow, and will feedback.

so for me personally i need <£8, pick up time between 10-5, no need to measure or weigh. labels don't bother me, i always put my own on after the probs i had with PF sticking the wrong address's to parcels.

" i would rather pay that bit more for a service i know is there, do you know what i mean, it down to cost for me, if my cusotmers wants to pay the amount for the postage, then at least i know i will be getting that peace of mind"

same here. easy of whole process over cost anyday (well, under £8 !)

Hi
Can anyone tell me what has happened to ppwexpress couriers? They have been off line for a few days, and i had several problems with some parcels wit them last week. I have always used them with no problems.
Who else is best for DHL collections if this company is not operating?

Thanks

parcelforce require labels that have to be printed. Stick them to the parcel, and print another copy for the driver to sign.

Direct Parcel Distribution don't require you to print labels.

Parcelcheap - you don't print any labels - the driver comes with 2, 1 for the parcel and the other for you

Used them 3 times last week with no problems

regarding pre paying, apart from the time it saves does anyone actually do it for the saving ?

the parcelcheap "saving" isn't even enough to go for a wee at a london train station !!

and i have never pre paid in case the company did a runner.

anyway, regarding alternatives to ppw i'm not sure i like the look of parcelcheap. plus they are PF which I do not like going back to.

so who else do i try ? all a little confusing at the minute

Hi,
I am very confused at minute!

I have several parcels here needing to be collected. I have to use DHL for various reasons and don't know who to book with????!!!!

Had probs with p2go in the past, ppw not here now..........HELP!!!
Also need good prices!!!!!!!!!

i think i may opt for rainbow parcels, although i'm not looking forward to trying to arrange a time with the DHL guy who turns up as he can barely speak english and his personality isn't exacty welcoming...
