Firstly i didn't know here to put this so i have gone for general, sorry if its in the wrong place.

An ebay member had an ite as local collection only but i want to arrange a courier.

the parcel is reasonably large and they have said they will pack and weigh it but nothing more!

Whats the best way to go about getting a courier and can anyone reccomend a good company for largeish items of about 20kg?

any help appreciated.
 
try your local post office or ups , tnt,parceline anyone will do depends on price so phone around .then you just open an account with them.
as a rule the costs are,and when its collected GET A TRACKING NUMBER off the sender or the courier firm so you know where it is
nextday before noon ,,,,,,,very expensive
nextday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,very expensive
2 day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,bit cheaper
general 3/4 day cheapest
 
i can't use the post office as they are the sender and they won't send it, i have to arrange a courier to collect from thier home, would parcel force do this?

The post office have a courier system..... it's called Parcel Force :p


Just phone around all the different couriers and price it up. All there is to it. There shouldn't be a huge variation in price.

Stay well clear of this company. They have a terrible reputation.


i use them all the time and havent had a single issue with them.
they use dhl and hdnl. but i guess your recomendation will be more valid than mine.
