Default Can anyone reccomend a Courier?

Good afternoon all,

I need a van seat picking up from Hereford, I won it on ebay and the guy won't wrap it or owt, so I need a Courier to just pick it up as it is and deliver it to me, I also need to post some wheels and tyres up north to someone, can anyone recomend anyone?


Cheers
Andy

all the couriers i used say it always has to be boxed and wrapped, ups,parcel farce etc. i prefer ups as they tend to be more reliable and cheaper than the others.

UPS all the way for me, never a problem, always on time, and more importantly UNDAMAGED.

no mate,your right the first time .it is parcel farce. never had a problem with ups .on time and undamaged and they will do heavy single items like gearbox's. dhl are fcuking expensive, almost double other quotes because "all our stuff goes by plane" like i give a fcuk if its going by plane or donkey as long as its there

i sent a bmw lsd diff @ 43 kg to oxford for £44 next day using UPS.parcel farce and a few other wouldnt even do it as it exceeded their 30kg single parcel weight limit.dhl wanted £80.ive alway found UPS to be quite competetive and theyve never lost a parcel of mine yet....unlike parcel farce
