not a very expensive frame (sold for £280), but need to send it to mainland scotland.
Any recommendations? Would like an easy to use courier that is not too expensive.
Thanks
Simone
I always use send it now. They use parcel force but charge less for the quicker service. They pick up from your house too.
Parcel force here frame sent Monday(48hrs) for a Ti repair sent back by Friday(24hrs) £36 intotal
I just take frames to the post office and use the parcel force. Only a quid more than senditnow but no Watling for the courier. Always had great service.
City Link through Parcel Monkey work best for me. Never had a problem and it's fairly cheap.
I use Gwizz Couriers for larger or more expensive items as the insurance upgrade is cheap.

Using UPS next day a frame with up to £300 cover will be a little over £10.

City link is crap!
booked through Parcel monkey, booked monday,for wed pick up for Thur delivery (warehouse only open on Thursday) had all emails from parcel monkey and labels from City link, THEY DID NOT TURN UP ON Wednesday!
I rang city link Wed about 1715 and got told they still have till 1800 to pick it up, they didn't.
Rang/emails to parcel monkey to sort to sort out another pick up, and to change delivery address, got sent new labels etc, all sorted.
City link turn up with a delivery small item for me, the look on his face when I said I got two bike boxes for him was funny! he had to go get the van as he parked on the main road not down my side street, had a chat, he didn't have any orders to pick up from me Wednesday or that day, (lucky I had a parcel) even more so he was in the village both days droping parcels off.
THEN city link take FIRST address! even thou new lables are on the boxes with a new tracking number! Lucky the 2nd address was round the corner and after a phone call from the driver it was sorted.
I do find City link very slow compared to other companys, ordering stuff on the same day from diff suppliers and city link are normall turns up a day after every one else!
Sorry for the long rant but I think they crap, IMO
