I use parcels4delivery,cheaper than parcels 2 go & interparcel.

(If you apply for an account for cheaper sending,if your sending 4 or more think the cost is £5.75+vat by dhl)

 

Interparcel good for gearboxes (drained of course)

Think Ive got the size & weight correct for £12 by ups budget(using interparcel)

For vr6 & 1.8t gearboxes the sizes & weights are: H=36cm,W=40cm,L=45cm 37kg

Another vote for these guys - no problems delivering a set of alloys from Glasgow to the door, even when the collection address changed at the last minute :)

The guys on http://www.anyvan.com get my vote. It's just a bunch of different people "bidding" for your job basically. You choose on price and time scale. Pretty goosd idea really.

I used Paisley Freight to carry an exhaust... they used CityLink as the 3rd party to courier the package.

 

The CityLink driver didn't come on the scheduled day of collection (apparently he couldn't find our house but didn't think to ring the contact number...) so we had to reschedule the collection for another day - which meant another day off work.

 

Then on the day of the rescheduled collection for some unknown reason they cancelled the collection before the driver went out. At this point we were prepared to go to the delivery office ourselves and drop it off, as the buyer needed the exhaust ASAP. However once we kicked up a fuss, City Link sorted themselves out and contacted the driver to make the pick-up.

 

To be fair to Paisley Freight, they responded quickly when I told them about the missed collection (e-mail as it was out of hours), and they put me in contact with CityLink directly to get it sorted when the rescheduled collection was cancelled.

 

Luckily there was no issue at all with the delivery.
