Courier/ delivery companies

[katie11]

Hi, can anyone suggest reliable courier companies? We have been using City Link for the past year but lately their service has gone from bad to abysmal. 9 out of 10 times, their driver either doesn't show up for collection, the goods are delivered to the wrong people or they just get lost so we have to find an alternative soon. We've done some research online but most other companies are really expensive... I know some of you have mentioned Fastway in the past but unfortunately they don't pick up from London (where we are based)... The main service we use is a next day delivery for parcels between 2-7kg. Thanks!

I use the Medway member who is excellent.

Remember that cheap and good are usually mutually exclusive terms.

Thanks Andrew! I think I'll give Interlink a try. Anything must be better than City link!

Hi There

We can offer you a flat rate parcel service, which is any parcel up to 2.7m in girth and 20kg, anywhere in the UK for £11.

We can also deliver to Europe, with the whole of the EC between £20 (France, Belgium, etc) and £45 (Poland, croatia, etc) for a box with up to a 3m girth and 30kg in weight.

If this is of interest to you please let me know

Kind regards
Sandra

Have a look at these people: http://www.directparceldelivery.com/ £6 for next day!

I have been using them for a month, they use ParcelForce and have had no problems at all with deliveries or collections.

Customer service is second to none - emails answered even on Sundays!

I use DHL through an agent for 24/48hr, APC and a couple of others, you need to ring around since all the companies vary from one area to another.
