Hi,anybody have any experience of using couriers, I Just bought some roof bars on Ebay and seller says that he will send via courier if I arrange. Having never done this who would be the best and cheapest to use to deliver to Swansea South Wales from Nottingham area.

I'd have thought you would be fine with any of the big boys, DHL, UPS, Fedex or TNT. You're going to give a couple of quid to multi-million pound businesses so don't be surprised if they all treat you like crap on the delivery side. 😆

Thanks both, didn't realise the bigger companies would collect from an address so will try Parcel Force...

Hi OP

I have used a company loads of times who buy capacity from all the major couriers and then sell on to people, mostly Ebay

Parcel2go.com

They are usually very good, with pick up and drop off. The earlier you let them know about a pick up the more likely it will happen.

Prices through them are very keen

I have no affiliation with them other than being a happy customer

Hope this helps

Cheers
Al.

Another vote for GWizz couriers. Cheapest in my experience for large items and never had any major issues.

Interparcel and Parcel2go are also ok.
