Yes!

They have been fantastic but I can only tell you who it is if you were paid by Paypal?

Parcelforce have teamed up with Paypal.

You pay £11.99 (for next day) or £10.99 (for 48 hours) via your Paypal account. You print off the postage label and bung it on your parcel. They come the next day, pick it up and do all the rest for you.

Now this applies to any size box as long as it's no more than 30KG.

...I went on the Parcelforce WEBSITE the other day and if I sent it through them - I'd be looking at £39.50 for 48 hours!

All too expensive!

Use the standard service on interparcel.com - this goes via UPS. Very good service, never a problem, always arrive on time and in good order. Cheap too.

Avoid parcel2go like the plague. I had to take them through small claims for their complete lack of regard when something went wrong with a transaction.

And for a balanced view, I have used them loads and never had a problem. :)

S&H used TNT to deliver my booth and they were an absolute nightmare, I received a cheque from S&H this morning for £100 for my troubles :D Good times !

Same here, Parcels2Go are my first choice, I've never had a problem with them, unlike the post office who have 'lost' packages on many occasions and refused to pay compensation.

1st choice: Parcelforce
2nd choice: Parcel2go

So far I've had no problems with parcelforce. I've had a few delays with parcel2go but they are cheap.

Parcel2Go for me aswell.

I'll tell you who I would never use again.....CITYLINK!
Sent a next day delivery using them about 5 years ago after I sold one of my Synthesisers on Ebay. It turned up 4 days later and was damaged too. I had to make a claim against them which went on for months. Never again!

I used to use interparcel as well but now I use parcels please. I can get a 30kg parcel picked up in the UK and delivered to southern France for £11.75 inc vat. Both times I have used them the package has arrived within 2 days.
