    Default Couriers

    Hi all,

    Need to send one of my speakers to RCF to get it looked at. In need of recommended couriers, ideally in Essex or just generally.

    Also, what's the best way to package? I have the padded cases already and was going to wrap in paper to put address/label on etc?

    Advice and comments appreciated.

    Thanks
    Tom

    We use DPD for the vast majority of our stuff and I'd highly recommend them, but I think it depends on how heavy you're speakers are. If not, ParcelForce have stepped up their game somewhat in recent years and aren't too bad for the heavy stuff.

    Many thanks for the suggestions all.

    Any advice on packaging? Ok to leave padded case on and wrap in paper?

    I use parcel 2 go but they are simply a middle man.

    When you know who you want to use try a broker such as them or the one Angela mentioned for a check on the prices.

    Also worth using Quidco too!
