Geek99 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Anyone got one to recommend ? Pickup from East Midlands, going to Belfast. Not parcelforce please as they seem to make a hobby of putting holes in things for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Interparcel - their standard services use UPS, and every experience I've had with them has been brilliant. You can insure as well, which I never fail to do if selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any bother. So long as you package these things well enough for it to be thrown off the back of a van and be perfectly safe, it's grand. I always go overboard with the packaging.

Geek99 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Parcelforce don't insure (well, pay out anyway) if its not in a hard case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Most couriers aren't quoting when destination is NI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Citilink (via parcelmonkey or parcel2go) or APC. Avoid parcelfarce like the plague... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yep last two things I sent via parcelforce looked like they had been machine gunned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticktock Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 +1 for interparcel. Used them recently, price was reasonable and contents undamaged. England to NI. Would use them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Just found them - wasn't quoting them yesterday. Thanks for the confirmation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Sharman Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Check out Derby Express Couriers. I think we use them when we ship to our distributor in Belfast. Haven't had any bother. (haven't shipped a musical instrument though :-) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Top tip, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Sadly they don't collect from my postcode and the Nottingham folks they referred me to were less helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
