I need to send a small package to Germany to arrive next day.

I know of DHL, UPS, TNT.
Is there anyone I should consider ??

Any recommendations on these & any other International Express couriers ??

I've just sent a parcel to Mexico through the people below as recommended by Hotukdeals.com. Somehow they turned out to be MUCH cheaper than DHL, Fedex, etc directly.

www.interparcel.com

My parcel is actually going through DHL though so I think they are brokers or something like that. Everything can be done online, collection, customs paperwork and payment etc.

Since this is the first time I use them, I can't judge them on delivery times yet but so far so good. They collected on time and the DHL driver was polite and helpful.

Hope this helps

DHL did the job, cost £59.
They delivered my package next day to Eastern Europe.

A friend sent a package from East Africa to same address the day before I sent mine & I watched the race between the 2 packages with online tracking. They were delivered together at same time, mine took 1 day from the UK, the friend's took 2 days from East Africa.

I checked Interparcel using DHL price, cost was £30+VAT.

DHL also do a cheaper service, DHLitNow, who quote £32:

But, with both DHLitNow & Interparcel, you can only book collections starting from next working day (you cannot arrange same day collection).
