good courier please

I have had so many problems with couriers. I can warn you not to use Parcel Monkey, they are hopeless! If anyone knows of a good, reliable courier, please let me know!

    I also use Parcel 2 go, went with DHL paid for 48hr delivery and every parcel bar one was delivered within in 24 hours. Hope this helps.
  • I used Parcel2Ship.co.uk to ship about a dozen eBay items on different days and found them to be very good.

    I used their Home Delivery Network 48-hour service for £6.95 + VAT (£8.17 Total), booked it online, paid with Paypal, printed and fixed the label and the packages were picked up on the day they said they would be. My one minor complaint was if they did a pickup on a Friday, the package didn't seem to be delivered until the Wednesday afterwards (slightly longer than 48 hours discounting the weekend) - otherwise the stuff got delivered safely, you get a tracking number to email the receiver and they did deliver on the days stated in the tracking number (unlike Parcel Farce)!
  • parcel2go - never had any problem with them
    As Martin says - please be nice - there is no such thing as a stupid question ! ;)

    I swear by PArcel2go. I always use them for the heavier items.

    I have never used parcels2go. The main reason being going back a few years ago there was nothing but horror stories all over the web.

    Seeing the posts above, I guess they've changed their ways.
