Due to security issues, TNT will not service any international parcels from private addresses until further notice.

Fortunately, they are not enforcing this at the moment and I was able to send my packet at a reasonable price.

Hiya, i need to send 2 canvases urgently, they need to be picked up tomorrow and delivered for Tuesday 6th March. One canvas is 36x12inches and the other is A1 size, 30x20inches. Does Parcel Monkey do guaranteed next day delivery?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Parcelmonkey won't guarantee a collection, but if you pay extra can guarantee a next day after collection delivery.

Interparcel offer "Interparcel Premium" (a UPS service) which says it guarantees collection and delivery the next day.

That is very true l am encountering more and more missed collections by City Link Chelmsford. OP you could consider dropping the parcel off at your nearest City Link Depot after booking via Parcel Monkey at least you will be sure its in the system. You need to book online today though.

Also don't forget check out Parcel Force, currently 15% off and £3.00 cash back via TCB and if l understand correctly you save an additional £1 if you drop the parcel off at the PO

UPDATE managed to book a parcel using debit card...seems like payment by Visa/Mastercards is resulting in a problem..

maybe this is only affecting my cards but my debit card was fine...

many of us have had, lets say, ISSUES with package delivery company, so I wouldn't recommend them at all.

You could try http://www.gwizzcouriers.co.uk/ they're showing a City Link service of £6.49+VAT. That price must be wrong but if you can book it....
