Was just about to suggest them as well! DCS freight I've also used with plenty of success - sold my 4 sets of 1.9 GTi wheels with them delivering them

Ooh, light

Worth a go, that or get them into two boxes and send via www.parcelmachine.co.uk <--- used them to send most of my old Cossie out, £10 per 25 kg parcel on a DHL 48 hour service.

Shocked to hear that tbh fella

Used them shit loads of times inc this week and service has always been A1 But the actual courier they use in my area is Initial Citilink so i suppose if your local citilink driver is a wank thats what can let the service down.

Guy that i deal with from Uk Mail says if its something he doesnt like or hates going to a certain area due to him covering the countryside areas he just leaves it at depot and doesnt give a fuck, ive never ever had a problem with him but someones getting bumped and a shit service

ive use them a few times too, and been ok.

mrs stayed in all day yesterday and didnt turn up and i wasnt happy so sent a polite email asking where are they, and they said they would try and get hold of agent,

i said well it will have to be after 3:30 (today) or have a refund,

so they issued a refund

wont be using them again now, plus SIB's link is much cheaper

if you google parceltogo, you can book couriers with them.

£5.99 plus vat with home delivery (says 3days+ but there normally 1-3) but you have to print the labels off

or

6.99 plus vat with DHL (who homedelivery own) and that always gets parcels delivered in 1-2 and you just stick the address on and dont need print any labels.

They both up to 25kgs as well
