Sending stuff is fine with DPD, but they won't let you book a courier to collect from someone else and deliver it to you. This is for everything, not just basses: I ended up using Parcelforce to collect some motorcycle panniers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean. With Interparcel I've my billing address but I can enter different collection and delivery addresses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to use DPD as the drivers who usually deliver to where I'm currently working take care of our parcels and stack the vans sensibly - but it's dimensions are too long! If only basschat could get a deal with DPD or UPS that would be amazing! Have a look at DPD Local via the dedicated Local website. Haven't used it for a bass, but was pricing up for some chairs and was impressed with what they offer - far better than any of the Parcel2Go/ParrcelMonkey type sites.

Unlike most couriers, they have real insurance (some say they insure instruments and then in the small print they don`t) and for £27.50 I got next day delivery and really good tracking through APC. Thanks for that. I might have need of a bit of sending soon, so that is worth knowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm sure the last bass I posted went with Parcel Force and cost about £18 (no insurance) I had to book and pay online though to get it at that price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
