Big fan GC myself, especially from the sellers perspective, but even from the buyers it is very straightforward and simple.

Surprised no re-sellers have taken up this option before when there is such big difference in fees, in industry with such small margins. Who'd of thought it 6 months ago.....DPD leading the field and setting the trends?!

Parcel2go are using google checkout since long time. So DPD are not leaders in this field.

You can just put 'default' or 0000.

Sever problems are quite common with DHL especially on Mondays. I remember when we used to use PPW (a good time before they went bust), the only problems we had pretty much were DHL server problems. As for DPD themselves, I'm fairly sure they're not using a direct account, but p4d's, whose owner I'm sure would at the first whisper of problems would of gone, so in short I'd be very surprised if there was a more sinister problem. We're giving them FedEx bookings daily without problem.

Is there still problems today?

Edit: All sorted.^

I had loads of parcels to send from selling items on eBay and after searching this website and the internet I found a website called Send Express.
