I haven't used them as they use DHL and i don't! And you don't pay them until you have had your parcel collected!

Worth a try? They have some pos. feedback on it already.

Hope its useful for someone!!

I'm a bit dubious tbh, hotmail email address and cheque/p.o. only as payment?? Doesn't come across as very professional, I will be watching them with interest.
I don't see how they can possibly make any money as dhl pay their drivers £3.80 per collection/drop off, my dhl driver told me that when I was saying how cheap ppd are.

I feel the same as you really. They have selected paypal in the listing process as it says by the top.

Mmm, they say paypal in the accepted payments box but in the listing it says cheque/p.o only. To me, it's also a target for non-payers.
I don't think I would trust a £100 parcel with them, anyone could get a white van and fake some dhl paperwork, if you had never used dhl - how would you know what the mandate looked like??

Thats true. When i use dhl, the driver always comes in a white van, and sometimes just has a computer printed sheet.

I'm gonna wait and see how they go for a bit!

Can't see it's a con because 'This service is unlike any other on ebay. YOU PAY ME WHEN THE SERVICE HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU not upfront like all other sellers. (CHEQUE/POSTAL ORDER ONLY). - basically use my service then pay me via post when your parcel has been collected/delivered' quote from listing.

A lot to read through...

Unless he runs off with your parcel!

I'm sure DHL carry identification, it's an elaborate scam if they are going to impersonate DHL staff for 4 quid!

I would be very wary ! Most of his seller feedback is from one ebayer !!!

:mad: I am beginning to lose faith in dhl!
I had a collection yesterday , 5 items in all, including a very large box bound for Moray in Scotland for next day guaranteed.
I have just had to ring and apologise to my customer as the damn thing has just landed at my door! It is a £250 order!:eek:
What makes it worse is the fact that it's my regular driver and he picked it up yesterday! He got very shirty with me and said it was our fault for putting a tiny returns label on it - which is maybe 2 inches by 1 inch. The actual delivery address was on an A4 sheet of paper. I don't like him anymore.
Not impressed, they obviously don't check the paperwork.
At least I get a free delivery through payperdrop, if I had not booked the guaranteed service, there would be no refund!
