LewisK1975 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Gotta send my ABM1000 into Ashdown for repair. Was left in the van last week and it's taken a dive at some point and is now sounding very sick.... Can anyone care to recommend a preffered courier for sending it in? Or are they all as bad as each other? I was just going to send it Royal mail guaranteed next day type of thing.... Cheers all, Lewis.

Geek99 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 they have - I also highly recommend UPS and their access point services. Usually a local newsagent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njr911 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have just used DHL through interparcel. You can insure for 2% of value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4stringslow Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Maybe ask Ashdown who they'd use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a local newsagent [/quote] I'd check out the UPS local collection and drop-off point carefully before using them. My local one is completely rubbish. I wouldn't trust them to tell me the time of day and certainly wouldn't want to risk anything valuable with them. On the other hand, the actual service I get from UPS itself and my local driver is exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Some collection points have a size/weight limit because of limited space to store large/heavy stuff like basses and amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Interparcel and UPS for me. Herpes have once again left a parcel for me behind the bush to the side of the front door. They regularly either do that or chuck it over the gate, ditto Yokel, neither of which I would entrust with anything more valuable than a used paper cup.
