    then pack it very well.
    none of them take that much care, they are all busy busy and time is always a problem. also most have a hub network where parcels go along a conveyor belt system and fall down a shute. and that aint too gentle either!

    parcel to go is ok for me.
    Get some gorm.

    Just a word of warning. I tried to use Selective2007 but had a lot of messing about - parcels not collected, trying to rebook and no response, no replys to emails and ignored me when I asked for my money back. Eventually I had to list the dispute with Paypal and did get my money back but this was a lenghty process. Also, someone maybe able to help. I didn't leave feedback about this as thought Selective2007 might then leave neg feedback (I have 100% feedback). Is this the case?

    Did you try phoning them?

    I've never had a problem with Selective2007,
    Use them about 20 times a week for larger items that would cost more than £4.25 to send with RM

    I think it depends on how reliable your local DHL depot is, similar to the problems people where having with P2G

    I used to work for a parcel courier company, and I know how they get handled in transit.

    I do it direct on their website - only £3.99. They seem to have got over their recent 'issues', at the moment I book on day 1, they collect on day 2 and deliver on day 3. They are currently using DHL. Super value.

    I did experience some hiccoughs whilst they were having problems, but a phone call always resolved it, the gent has always been very pleasant on the phone.

    FFM :)
