Courier collections
Can anyone recomend me a courier to collect some motocross boots from Suffolk? Ebay Seller being a bit of a pain and need to arrange collection. Just not sure how easy it is to arrange a courier to go and collect and then deliver to me. Anyone done this? and which courier did you use?

Use parcel monkey (google it) will give you the best price.
I've sent all kinds of things with them and they have been cheap, efficient and always on time. Hth |

Re: Courier collections
Where abouts in Suffolk are they? If they are near, and you have too much trouble with a courier, I may be able to collect and post on for you.

Re: Courier collections
Just seen your post in the EAR section. Sorry, too far for me. Mav is closer but Cretingham is still a bit of a treck. Not sure if there are any active members in that area but I'm sure they'll surface.

Re: Courier collections
ParcelMonkey FTW. they usually outsource citylink for me as it works out cheapest but I've not had a problem with them and have even sent some oddly (or not packaged) items.

Re: Courier collections
I've done this a bit but found it better to use UPS when possible even if it's a few quid more as they tend to collect when they say they're going to.
You can do that through parcelmonkey or a few other reseller type places to get full discount on it rather than the retail price.

Re: Courier collections
Thanks guys. Mavi has been in touch and offered to pick up, but all has gone quiet from seller. Think he is ****ed off no one else bid on the boots - as new Acerbis MotoX boots for 99p! rrp £150.
Says he is emigrating to Canada this week! Sounds like BS to me. Not a lot I can do if he refuses to honour the deaL? uNLESS SOMEONE KNOWS A tIM LIVING IN cRETINGHAM, sUFFOLK whose wife has size 6 feet????
