I use senditnow - effectively parcelforce.
A general note here is that you need to be very careful on who you use. Seemingly innocuous items can be contrary to terms of carriage and could land you in trouble if there was a problem. Liquids, not just flammables like perfumes, are prohibited by almost every operator who uses Citylink. So even sending something like fairy liquid is against terms and conditions. If there were to be an accident and your fairy liquid leaked on something else, they could come back to you to cover any compensation claim. I know it is unlikely, but it does happen.
Parcelforce are generally better than citylink from this regard, there are many items which are acceptable (albeit without compensation available) which are not with citylink.
Keep in mind that the shipping of flammable liquids like lighter fluid and perfumes are prohibited by all major carriers. It is important to pay heed of this as there is a bigger risk with these items if they find their way onto a plane (which is quite plausible sending to NI). Just because ebay sellers do it, doesn't mean it isn't something which could land you in trouble!Always overestimating...0
