    Good to know. I've never used them for anywhere rural.
    I think most couriers struggle in rural areas, when I lived in the middle of nowhere I got to the point where I wouldn't buy online unless it was guaranteed to be Royal Mail.

    Here in the town I have had no problem whatsoever.

    I agree, but hermes had the worst track record compared to the others. If I were ever to sell something on eBay that was large bulky, i'd ask the buyer if they had a preferred courier if I thought it was going somewhere rural.

    Your score:
    5/20
    5/20. You talked about Brexit too much and Skepta too little in 2016.

    Afternoon all :D

    Well done. I had to google Skepta.
