Express Packages Deliveries. Cheaper, better service. Parcelforce.

I send to Italy. Express package doesnt list italy so i asked and came back at £29.99 which is quite a bit more than Pharos. The items I send are old instruments which are heavy yet fragile and i believe UPS are the only carrier who have racking in the vans to seperate the parcels. That said UPS managed to destroy one of mine when it got misrouted and was loaded on and off 18 vehicles before finally reaching destination but i do like the look of that racking.

They have tried everything but any parcels that go to their 'address' which is a mail drop within a central post office about 12 km from their home, is refused. The address does not show as a mail box it actually shows as a sort of street address, or at least a name and area code, but there is no way onto their property or those of any of their neighbours as they are literally up a mountain with no classified road access.

Hi
I am looking for a courier who will deliver cakes. At the moment I use Titan but I don't think I would be covered in the event of a claim as they would be classed as perishable. I tried using special next day delivery through royal mail but 2 out of the 3 orders I sent arrived in pieces!

Anyone any experience of an Ebay classified 'Wheelcourier.com' good or otherwise? Specialise in shipping carparts, ahem wheels mainly!

ok, maybe ppw booking is not 'awful', 'quirky' may be a more appropriate term, butjust not working just when I needed them of late.... Had to use them again today for 2 late orders, booked at 12.15 and they seem to have gone through, just waiting for dhl to land to collect. Also 2 booked through DPD last night, again no real confirmation of much when you book through them, but their 24/48 hour dhl home delivery is now same price as PPW for that service, (6.95 inc vat) - with 150 insurance cover included (PPW covers you for 100)

Hi,
Is DPD an eBay shop as I can't find it?
Thanks
