OT: couriers

Greetings One and all

ISTR someone (Badger?) mentioned/recommended a courier service in here a while back - searching the archive has been a disappointing & fruitless task.

I just bought a gearbox and don't fancy the trip, so I need a courier that will collect from up-norf-land & deliver down here. Next-day is not an issue.

Thanks for reading.

Hi William. In the past I've used Palletline and a local firm, Ross Parcel Express. I recently got a bloody big caravan awning collected from middle-englandshire and delivered to far-north by Ross Parcels for £35, it came in 3 packages, all pretty big! When you say up-north-land, where do you mean exactly? If up my way, I'll pass on details for Ross Parcels if you want. You could always try contacting one of your local small(ish) courier firms, you might be surprised. Badger.

Only going off personal experience - (Hereford Area)

Citylink (shittylink) is by far the worst

Parcel Force seems to be great

Parcel Force won't carry a gearbox if they know what it is beforehand. Health and safety issues with a) weight (max 30kg) b) physical size/balance of package and c) oils (even if drained).

that was it - thanks

Liverpool - about half way between your bit and my bit I guess :)

Thanks - looking at the Palletline site - I'd guess they are franchise operations made up of those self same local couriers.
