Looking to use these guys for parcel delivery for shop/website stuff.....they are cheap and cheerful and seem to get good reviews. Just wondered if anyone had experience of them? In fact they look to be useful for a lot of people.....

Probably going to end up doing a parcel run with our own van once a week in a 150 mile radius or so and we've found a couple of suppliers who will ship direct under our name....but most won't - I mean why is it so difficult to get people to step up to the plate on customer service? No wonder the country is in the toilet

ive used them a few times via Parcel2Go, always on time, always polite, cheap and they do the job, at least they have for me, so no complaints! ONLY thing that bugged me, was that I couldnt track my parcel online (just didnt recognise my consignment number), so check that out before making a final decision.

Thanks Clive - tracking is important to us so will check that out.

That is a very interesting link, I have often looked for a good service for smaller parcels. The problem i have found with all couriers is that they don't like to compensate when they break stuff. There standard defence is "you wrapped it" but fortunately it doesn't happen very often.
