Question Courier companies

Evening org!

I'm selling loads of bits on eBay from my written-off Thunderace and being slightly bone-idol I was wondering if you guys knew of any good courier companies in London/South East that would quote and pickup packages from my place of work? I'd need them to offer insurance too.

Cheers,

Paul

Go to this website http://www.interparcel.com/

Some guy came up with the idea of setting up a corporate account with all the big courier firms and then reselling the services to individuals.

Usually the prices on interparcel are cheaper than on the providers own websites.

+1 on that they screwed up a load of collection on here too - tried to say I'd booked it for the previous day that it was actually booked on! As I argued about it as needed the stuff asap it then took a further 4 days to collect. This is just one incident I have had with them

Now they have barred my email from the complaints dept but I can still book orders - not that I ever will again

CCL are a similar company to InterParcel - kinda like a brokers almost. We use them for work and get pretty good rates with BusinessPost, UPS, Interlink etc.
Their number is 0700 24 07 365 - Speak to either Declan or Michael, they're both pretty good in there.
