    Maybe www.ecoparcel.net
    Any advice I give on these forums is my own opinion only, and is what I would do in your situation or, what I have done in the past, please do not slate me for offering what I see as "sound" advice.
    Thanks

    Hi

    Im looking for the cheapest UPS standard service courier.

    Is it still parcels please at £9 inc vat or is there someone cheaper?

    Thanks in advance.
    It is very hard to price anything when you don't give any details of the parcel.
  • Hey!

    I am looking to send a few parcels to Berlin varying in size and weight between 20-25kg.

    Who would people recommend? In terms of reliability as well as price.

    Cheers
  • Hi Errol1989,
    As your parcels are quite big https://www.ecoparcel.eu or https://www.gwizzcouriers.co.uk would probably be best, although https://www.parcel.to are good as well.

    Edit: try https://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk as well
  • Hi Errol1989,

    Edit: try parcelmonkey as well

    Thanks! I'll definitely check the prices out there. Have you had experience with these companies?

    worldwide parcel services also seemed fairly cheap, are they reliable?

    Cheers
  • Hi all,

    I am looking to send a Collectible Glass bottle to Australia, please could someone recommend a courier.

    Some seem to have issues with glass, some don't!

    Cheers

    Thanks very much for the link - after checking their t&c it seems their maximum compensation on any item is only €500 - in which case it wouldn't be enough... are there any better alternatives to them?

    Also - the responses on FB regarding ecoparcel sound fairly mixed...:

    Yes, to both of your questions. I always just go with the cheapest, which despite me holding direct accounts with some major couriers, brokers can often end up cheaper for parcels to destinations that I send less regularly.
