    Hi, this is the freebies board, so not really the right place for a post like this.
    Maybe better to post it on I wanna buy it or do it?
    Or maybe someone else can suggest a better place for this request?

    You should post this on the ebay forum or perhaps look on the ebay site as it has a thread especially concerned with this problem.

    THIS SITE IS FOR FREEBIES WITH NO SPEND WHATEVER??

    parcel2go are a cheap and decent courier service which can all be organised via a form on their website and you just state a date & time for collection and a a delivery address and they will do the rest

    you might want to also try staples. They charge £8 for there next day delivery ( not guranteed) but only snag is the recipient has to be in to recieve it durning working hours or you will get charged for it to be resent or to take it back yourself as they dont do a redelivery for free.

    The one i mostly use is interparcel which if you register with will get you 5% off and can highly recommened it.

    Try APC Overnight. I have just started using them

    £7.50 + VAT to UK mainland and £6.25 + VAT for Scotland. Best to call your local office and get quotes, I have been very happy with them.

    I would really recommend pharos-international :money: . I have used their service last week and was really impressed. They charged £13.50 for a 30 kg parcel (including vat and insurance).

    I would also recommend it if you have a larger than average parcel. Most couriers have a size limit where the longest dimension of your parcel + the girth should not exceed 300 cm. The item I was sending exceeded that and pharos was the only courier that had a larger size limit (up to 330 length + girth).

    They use UPS as their courier but if I had used UPS directly I would have paid at least £35 for the same parcel. What really impressed me is that I paid for standard delivery which is 48 hours but they delivered the item in 24 hours :T . What's more it is trackable online so you know when your item has been delivered.

    I have just reread my post and you'd think I work for them (I don't, by the way:rotfl: :rotfl: )

    HTH, Nadia
    I :heart: this site!!!

    I think that the Scottish price must be an error here Hintza?!

    You are quite correct it was an error Scotland £5.95 + VAT. Bear in mind I am in Scotland.
