Can anyone recommend a cheap courier for a large item. A double pushchair and extras. Will prob need two packages each over 10kg so I can't use Collect+ .

Don't use them if you want them to get there is one piece.

I've just sent an item via Parcelmonkey/CityLink on a next day service, and it got there fine.

I can recommend 'Click and send parcels. com' (just join the letters, as I'm not sure if I can post links )

I have used them 2-4 times a week, every week since November for sending bulky parcels, and haven't had an issue. I choose UPS as my carrier.
My parcels weigh up to 10 kg / 138cm height, and the cost per parcel is £8.99 INC vat. This is a 'Next Day' 24 hr service too.

Hope this helps

http://www.clickandsendparcel.com and http://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk are both showing £7.49 + vat, tracked and signed for, but make sure that they are adequately insured in the event of a claim.

I used Parcelmonkey/CityLink for the first time this week, and my parcel got to Kent from Yorkshire next day, with no problem encountered.

I have finally given up with Collect+ So far they lost 2 items out of a packet of 4, another parcel never arrived and now a dog coat which is bulky is tracked as `posted` when it couldnt be put through the letterbox. No point in claiming and their customer service is not supported by management i.s they are never there to help with problems.. Voting with my feet and going elsewhere. A shame as it it is so convenient to me but there it is. Cant afford to lose parcels.

Does anyone have a recommendation from shipping about 5-6 boxes of 20kg from Denmark to the UK

Worldwide parcel service are the only ones I can find and they are only reasonable competitive considering the list prices - about GBP450 for 5 boxes.
