Hi - can anyone tell me if UPS will deliver to PO Boxes?
and if they do not which couriers will deliver to a PO Box.
Thanks.

BEWARE OF COMPANIES CHARGING £5/£10/£20 EXTRA FOR INSURANCE WHEN THEY WILL NOT COVER YOUR ITEMS...

ALWAYS CHECK THE PROHIBITED ITEMS LIST ON THEIR WEBSITES! -

You'd be suprised what some of these companies do not cover such as laptops and computer components.

I have a parcel to send. It is 100cm x 75cm x 70cm. It only weighs 13kg. Can anyone help me find a service that will do this for me without costing a fortune - I am going dizzy looking at the different companies in this forum and I dont know which ones to trust. Anyone with any experience sending big packages like this?

My advice would be to look at the very first 5 or 6 posts on this thread. Depending on where in the World your parcel is going, choose the appropriate post and get quotes from the 3 or 4 companies listed. A quote will take you about a minute on each website, as all you need is destination, size and weight (which you already have). Then just pick the service you want!

I've completely ignored almost every other post on this thread, as most of it is mind games and I can't be @r$ed reading some of the absolute drivel posted by disgruntled or ecstatic 'customers' who happened to have registered here within the last month!

It's unlikely any national courier will deliver to a PO Box because most of them need a signature to prove the item was delivered. The exception to this is Royalmail so you will probably have to use the postoffice.

The problem is your dimensions are larger than the major couriers except for a standard delivery. If you can some how shave 10cm off the dimensions then Parcelcheap will deliver it nextday for £9.50. Otherwise you will have to pay a lot more, the cheapest I've seen is http://www.parceldrop.co.uk for £29.99 + VAT using DPD freight service. www.interparcel.com also offer similar rates for a citylink service. Another option would be to contact some independent couriers in your area.

Are Parceldrop and Parcelcheap reputable and reliable? The items I send are worth several hundred pounds - it needs to be a good service. Has anybody reading this used these companies?
