Courier to collect from Northern Ireland to UK
Options

Hi all, I'm from Northern Ireland and I need to send 3 individual parcels to the UK they are not that big to cause a problem but they weigh:
6.0 kg
5.3 kg
1.6 kg
Royal mail prices are around the £14 for the top two and around £6 for the lightest. That seems a lot? Do any of you know a NI courier service or an on-line courier that could beat these prices. I'm looking at a 5 day from collection to delivery timespan. I live in L'Derry.
Thanks...............:)

collect plus is an option depending on whether you mean 5 days or 5 working days
in my experience (i live in NI) they usually take a full 4-5 working days to deliver to GB though [noting 5 working days is effectively a week as i don't think they deem sat or sun a working day]0 -

Thanks charles, I'm on their website having a look right now........a lot of mixed reviews but I guess that is to be expected with a service like this. Some think its great others to avoid like the plague....!!! My Hermes gets more of the same - no problems or nothing but problems:-) I'll plump for one of them probably and they work out about 50% less than the R Mail“Having, first, gained all you can, and, secondly saved all you can, then give all you can"....John Wesley
