[FONT=&quot]ArmitageShanks, no one should have to worry about how many times they mention a particular website, if it's relevant & helpful then let it be. The original article is outdated so it's important for this thread to have recommendations based on recent personal experience. I've used www.parcelcheap.com & have been impressed so i'm entitled to recommend them as it will save others time & money.

I prefer parcelforce because i've found the reliability & service good. It's important to know the standard insurance for DHL is £50 while parcelforce offer £150. Parcelforce also guarantee the deliveries as standard unlike DHL. This tells it's own story, parcelforce are a lot more confident in their service than DHL. It makes you think DHL must lose or damage a lot of parcels otherwise surely they would offer better insurance. DHL have taken on a lot of extra business in the last few years thanks to the cheap booking websites, this has inevitably had a negative effect on the quality of their service. That's probably why DHL are increasing prices now so they can cope better during the christmas period. If you use DHL don’t be surprised if you get failed collections or your parcel doesn’t arrive on time. Why do you think Ebay decided to team up with Parcelforce instead of DHL.

The best experience I had booking DHL was using www.interparcel.com . Prices are a bit more expensive but reliability was better than the rest. www.ppwexpress.com were amazingly cheap when they first started but the reliability was poor & in the end so was the service. www.parcel2go.com should be the best because they have the most experience however I think they offer too many different services & products making it a bit time consuming & confusing + the prices aren't that cheap.

Armitage,
I think it might be worth adding parcelcheap.com
Just used them today. Booked at around 11.00, courier turns up after two hours.
Plus it's Parcelforce. They emailed me parcelforce tracking numbers straight away, booking system is user friendly and easy.
Just checked their website and it's down, don't know why. Hope it will be up and running soon as I want to use them again.
