Courier Cost Cutting Feedback/Discussion thread

Who is the best to go with now?

Used to use Mh direct ( something like that) on ebay, cant see them on there anymore, infact theres no one on auction now!

I have a buggy to send and want to keep the cost as low as possible, never had a problem with DHL so am happy to use them but who to buy from?

I cant print out any labels due to no ink in the printer so cant do label printing!

Thanks for any advice.

www.mhdirectcouriers.com are still ongoing if you want to use them again. I used ppwexpress today. well, booked it earlier in the week and DHL collected today as arranged, to deliver (hopefully) tomorrow.

hi, anyone got one free delivery after paid 15 vouchers from ppp? i have bought 15 pre-paid vourchers last week, email them 3 time at least, never receive a free voucher as they said on their website. I won't pay them in advanced again. Because if one day they go burst, I bet it is difficult to get money back. But whatever I certainly appreciate for their cheap price.

Yes, we have had PPP rebates, although we are awaiting another currently.

I might just get it via a european booking when I send them funds direct from my account.

They will come through, but I do think they could do with speeding it up!

Used them after payperdrop went and although Wasif never let use down (bar the odd miss bookings his end) and to be honest he was pretty helpful, I did at times wonder if it was an accident almost waiting to happen.

Anywho too expensive now.

DirectSalesEurope aka. http://www.directparceldelivery.com/ has suspended service - luckily they refunded me.
Price has increased for Capital Trades

Looks like they are slowly dwindling, either because they can't cope with demand or because charges by the actual couriers have risen; but from my experience these companies are fairly simple affairs and lots of people try to set them up - but they crumble after a couple of months.

Think I'll be using PrePaidParcel from now on, though it is strange that Martin doesn't list in his article!

I received this from direct parcel delivery:
