    Interparcel are jolly good, not as cheap as some of the ebay advertisers but great customer service and easy to book.
    The money, Dave...

    I had to send a towbar to France. Normal carriers quoted anything from £60 to £200! what a joke.
    Found worldwide-parcelservices.co.uk they sent it for £21.14 and the service was excellent.

    Hope this helps.

    I used PPD for the first time this week, for three ebay deleveries. They were fantastic, all collected and delivered on time and good value as well. I highly recommend them now!

    ppd.. hmm not bad but not great:confused:

    i used them but over bank holiday they messed up 3 deliveries out of 7 but said it was dhl.. no refund just rebook and then 2 of them still didnt get delivered in time.

    i think a partial refund at least would have been nice.

    Im annoyed with them at the moment. They have lost one of my parcels claiming it wasn't properly addressed. Luckily it returned to me... all damaged up! They will not refund me which i think is really cheeky considering whats happened :(

    I hope Sendyourparcels/ITDistributionUK come back soon :confused:

    I have been using interparcel, excellent service up to yet, I booked online at 1pm today, ups were at the door by 2.00. £10 for a 10 kg parcel.
    I have now opened an account with parcel force, £7.40 for 48 hr service, they do expect you to send over 300 parcels a year though.
