  • I used Home Textiles the other day and they sent my item with TNT

    Also it might be useful to see the insurance included with each courier. I think Home Textiles have up to £150 compensation - which is why I used them (apart from being the cheapest at present!)
  • How about these guys who deal with parcelforce for 7.70

    My main interest is in an afternoon pickup because of work commitments. Ive asked him but does anyone know if parcelforce (or anyone) would just pickup between 16:30 till 18:00. That would be perfect compared to anytime on a day


    The best Ive found so far is interparcel who will specify a collection window of 15:00+



    Thanks

    Damned if I would trust shipping an item with someone who can't spell 'deliverys' or 'gauranteed' . Its just a cowboy reseller who's gonna sting someone soon enough.

    Not registered as a business, no name, address or phone number.

    I tried www.supaparcels.co.uk for the first time this week, no probs at all.
  • They are just an agent I think. I would consider supa but this particular parcel has to be picked up in the afternoon

    Having done a search on Ebay I see Home Textiles have gone private and Parcel king are having problems.
    Are we running out of cheap couriers?

  • Has anyone used payperdrop recently with success. I bought 5 collections from ebay just after they lauched the new website - which never seemed to work. I eventually received an email from "Joseph" who attached an excel form to his email asking me to complete it. I did this for three parcels - all of which were collected and delivered as requried. Last week I sent two emails with completed excel form for collection and have heard nothing since. No replies to our emails chasing this up. I have no telephone number.
    Does anyone know about Joseph and how to get hold of him? Or can you shed some light on the whole payperdop set up?
