I used to sing their praises but they used to have a contact number.
Recently i lost a parcel through them and looking into it i couldnt contact them and their live help just fobbed me off.
I got restricted on ebay for poor feedback scores for delivery times (after stating a 3 day dispatch and using an economy courier, plus offering free postage) due to using my hermes through them (they are folk with a car who store up parcels till the end of the week before dropping them off and the same happens at the other end.
Recently i also lost a parcel with Yodel and they couldnt trace it, or werent bothered and yodel were also useless. The insurance has also dropped to £20 included from £50 i think and the cost of insuring parcels has also increased through them recently which reflects increased losses in my eyes.
Also sending to highlands, Islands and NI is expensive through them. Parcelforce seems a lot better direct as its standard price for all the H, I & NI and you get £100 insurance included.
So in short, they sere good but as they have got bigger over the last few years they have lost their edge.
Im not sending anything uninsured any more and avoiding them wherever possible due to lack of communication/fobbing off received by them recently
