Tried to use ppwexpress without much luck as the website doesn't seem to be working. I did quite a lot of searching on Google & Ebay to find another cheap way to send my parcel. I found https://www.parcelcheap.com who offer a cheap parcelforce delivery service. I've booked a parcelforce delivery with them this morning for £7.10. Got a tracking number straight away, all I have to do now is wait for parcelforce to turn up with the labels. Impressed with how easy & quick it was to book. Hopefully this info is of use to someone trying to to book a delivery. I'll update later once the parcel has been collected.

Had an email from PayPerParcel regarding my booking saying the DHL system was down. Maybe that's why ppwexpress are offline.

Apparently ppw aren't taking any bookings today, we also had failed collections yesterday (which have been manually rebooked by them for today).

i had 4 parcels collected fine yesterday, and at least 1 has already been delivered.

the site is down tho, and i didn't receive my tracking emails i would usually expect.

all in all tho i am still very happy with them. the booking process is so much quicker than elsewhere, and i'm yet to have any real problems with deliveries.

https://www.ukbackloads.com is the most reliable I have found - I have had my fingers burnt with mtvan.com and others like that

I've been out most of the day. Anyone know the latest on ppw or other DHL agents, ie will they be back on tomorrow?

Looks like it will be EPD or saletrack if not.


Edit: to say those not collected yesterday were successfully done so today.

the problem with ppw looks like it is not due to dhl ,more like a ppw problem. as i booked collections via other dhl agents today and all were collected .

It must be a PPW thing.
I managed to book parcels through Uk Courier Express yesterday who use DHL and they were collected with no problems.
