    I just used Direct Parcel Distribution to send 10kg to Portugal via FedEx for £19.99.

    I checked the price using my own FedEx account number for the same service and they quoted £132!

    Had a collection missed by DHL this week, but DPD rebooked next day, this time with FedEx and goods got to Ireland in 48 hours.

    Hi,

    I'm a student and want to send some of my personal stuff back home in Turkey. I got quotations from different companies but prices are so different from eachother. Some are really expensive and some are extremely cheap for an international delivery.

    Cheapest prices given by DIRECT PARCEL DISTRIBUTION LIMITED but don't know how reliable they are. Could anyone help me as I need to send my stuff before the Christmas?

    All I need a reliable courier company to send my stuff in safe.

    Many thanks in advance for your advises.

    I've been all day trying to sort the best way to send a parcel of Christmas presents to family on Merseyside, and finally arranged through FreightSearch - they had problems today with their site once it got to the payment stage, so I ended up doing it by phone after many hours!
    The parcel is all packed (8kilos) and sealed up, but now I've noticed that they (& many others) won't accept glass without prior written notification! I missed that bit! It's mainly clothes in there, but I've put two jars of jam & marmalade, along with chocolates & biscuits. It's well packed and protected, but should I take the chance & send it, or unseal it all & take the jars out?!! They are due to pick up tomorrow, & I'm sure if I ask the delivery guy he won't want to hang around while I do it then! Will it be scanned & maybe not sent? I know for the sake of a couple of jars I should just take them out, but it took ages to seal the box properly and I don't really want to do it all again! Any help appreciated!

    Please can you recommend a courier for a parcel to Dublin.

    It weighs 7 kilograms and the largest dimension is 73 centimetres.

    Value about £100.

    Preferably using DHL who know where I leave my parcels.

    I don't think it'll be a problem, they won't xray for glass or anything like that. The worst that would happen is your jars would break and splat marmalade over everything else in the box. :rotfl:
