Are Gwizz Couriers any good?

Hi Guys,
my Sister just sold an item on Ebay for £300 to someone in Canada.....but doesn't want to send the item via R.Mail.
Just found Gwizz Couriers,..... they seem to be the cheapest.
Has anyone used them?

I've used them, no complaints.

Yes, I used to use Interparcel, but now use Gwizz because they have much cheaper compensation cover (£3.95 for £1000 cover - Interparcel charge £20!)

The courier service provided by UPS is usually excellent.

Yes, they're a good as they come

I've just signed up with Gwizz but having a few problems with stuff you have to print off.
The address label we've printed off is a full A4 size (which is just about OK for the smallish package we're sending). Is that standard size???
We've tried to make it smaller, but then certain info gets missed.

Also, where [and how] do we attach the 4 Commercial invoices? As i've read somewhere that it HAS to be attached to the front of the pkg and not the side. (For Canada also)
Sorry if this sounds silly.

Yes, we printed off the address label in full A4 size and attached the 4 commercial invoices to the side of the parcel (we just put them in a folded clear plastic divider).
The Courier came to collect it [on time] and said all was good!

Many ways of printing the label at a sensible size . I find the easiest is to tell my printer it has A5 paper instead of A4 then it prints the label half size on an A4 sheet.
