Hi

I have 2 parcels to be posted within the UK, sold on ebay.

What services offer a timed slot, so i dont have to wait around all day for collection?

Thanks

I'm not sure any do. The most accurate you normally get is AM or PM.

I used Citylink through Parcelmonkey the other day, got the option for two pm slots and a morning slot or anytime between 8 and 5.

You can select it but its definitely not guaranteed

Important: This is a preferred collection time only.
We cannot guarantee when the driver will arrive.

HDNL do via Parcel2go. Think you pay an extra 2 quid for one of the 4 time slots.

I bought something off ebay recently and was emailed and told the day of delivery, then on the morning I could go online and be told the 1 hour delivery slot. Of course I can't remember the name of the courier firm, but clearly they do exist.

The ebay seller - who were brilliant by the way! - is jacksean04

Thats DPD, its a new service they brought in.

I don't know any website which resells their services, I think you have to have an account direct.

for timed slots i use interparcel website and one of the services (normally cheapest one) gives you a time slot chance, its the city link option and theyve always rung when there going to be late. .
