Yep, that's your choice....bargin bin- hit or miss, or peace of mind (ie. knowing DHL will definately turn up etc.) ....and i suppose as ever you pay for what you get. Remember though with ppwexpress if you buy 15 you get one free which will bring the price down to £6.75'ish.

Incidentally, DPD site still appears to be having a refit.

Maybe DPD have decided to work continental shifts?

I assumed from this thread that DPD were just a courier agent. However I have seen two of their vans this afternoon. Is it the same company?

Can someone tell me how to put in a claim for a damaged item with payperparcel? I can see where to contact them but there is nowhere to attach photos of damage!?

I need to transport a 40" LCD TV from Milford Haven to Cardiff but have not packaging. Where is the best place to get a 'proper' box so that I will be covered by the courier's insurance?
Also, who is best to use for transporting the TV?
cheers

I've sold an Xbox on Ebay and have decided to go with Parcelforce. From reading this thread the courier market is an absolute minefield. I originally booked it with Parcel2go but I've emailed them to cancel it and intend calling them also as their office was closed yesterday.

Got 15% with a myvouchercode so it's cost me £12.74 which admittedly is alot more than some of these other promises but at least I feel sure it'll get there!

With courier agents its the collection which is where the problems can be, delivery is fine.
