Any Couriers Offer Am or Pm Collections

i bought an item off ebay where the seller stated the buyer can arrange their own courier/ collection. The seller now is telling me they are only in tomorrow before 1pm, so is there any couriers that let you choose an Am or Pm collection?

the parcel is 8kg so standard parcels at the post office is £11, so looking for a courier thats cheaper and can collect in the morning.

cheers all ;)

    hi thanks for that, interlink is £14 as the parcel is 8kg :(

    the earliest time slot city link offer for collection is 11am-2pm, strange but there is no guarentee it will be collected before 1pm

    ill just have to bite the bullet and pay £11 to get it sent thru the post office :cool:

    Probably because they are rushing around trying to deliver items on guaranteed 10am or midday services first. They don't want to waste time and muddle items for collection and delivery together by picking up early in the day.
