Parcel delivery (who do you use)?

[M.C]

Currently beefing with the company I usually use (£100 item got damaged and they refused the claim), just wondering who people use and in particular what they've been like when they have had issues.

MyParcelDelivery seem similar to ParcelMonkey and appear to have decent reviews.

Edit: well on trustpilot, google reviews don't seem very good

I've never had a problem sending anything by Royal Mail or Parcel Force.

Tells you all you need to know about couriers Had lots of stuff turn up late with them, they also damaged the item I mentioned earlier (box arrived with a big hole in it).

I usually use parcel2go / hermes because they're the cheapest but I've recently used parcelmonkey - parcelforce as I needed them to apply the label. So far it's average but pricey, more than the bike trousers I bought!

Im lazy so just take everything to the post office for sending. I do bloody hate it when anyone sends me anything couriered by anyone other than Royal mail/parcel force.

The reason is that their local depot is a mile from my house, and not having a car to use means I don't want to be going 10miles to fetch stuff I missed the delivery attempt for.

DPD Local for me.

Formally Interlink Express.

Cost is no concern if it's for things you're selling as you're not the one paying it. State clearly in your ad your postage & packing costs.

don't use TNT at the moment, they've not been able to reliably track anything for about a month after having their system hacked and ransomed, still can't.

It's normally smaller stuff (via royal mail) I underestimate on. I know you can work it out beforehand but I CBA weighing and packing stuff, especially when I don't know if it's even going to sell.

DPD simply wrap it very well.

Royal Mail a lot though as they ship dangerous items*.


*gas canisters
*used internal engine parts etc.

Surprisingly I've never had any issues with MyHermes, although I know others have. Guess it depends on how trustworthy your local deliverer is

Never had a problem with Royal Mail, (should they even be called that now that they've been privatised? What , with our luverly queens head still on the stamps and all? Perhaps we should call it summat different, like"Consignia"....oh, hang on a minute...)

Yodel have had a right slagging off, but my local delivery lass has always been spot-on...
TNT and DHL are a bit ...meh, but I usually get my stuff in reasonable time.

Eg, ordered something from ebay, second class Royal Mail, arrives next morning.
Had stuff couriered by TNT, was apparently in transit for 2 days between depots less than sixty miles apart.
