    Organising a courier

    Normally when I buy a part the person selling it parcels it up and sends it, either by post or courier, to me. Does anyone have any experience of needing to organise a courier to go and collect an item and then deliver it to them? I might need to get some stuff picked up from Germany and brought back to UK. Which courier would you'd recommend?

                Normally I used to use DHL or any courier via interparcel, parcelhero or parcel2go. Depends on the shipper as well because some need you to print a label others come with their own

                  Nothing but good things to say about Parcels2Go

                  they make RM/Parcelforce look like over-priced amateurs

                      Likewise. Used Paisley loads and never had any issues. They even do a courtesy call to make sure everything was ok.
