UK Courier

Hello. I am seeking recommendations for UK Next Day delivery service. I am currently using APC Overnight : http://www.apc-overnight.com, Their charges are approx £13 for a 10KG Package for Next Day Delivery + £500.00 Insurance.

They have let me down on a number of occasions, recently and are proving to be not the most reliable of services.

We generally send out approximately 3 packages a day, of average weight of 9KG.

We are looking for a reliable, reasonable and trackable service.

Any suggestions / Recommendations would be appreciated.

Regards
Ben

Definately not! lol... Parcel2go are just contractors for DHL, i would recommend Parcelforce - we get charged £5.95 per package, min spend is £50 per week.

PayPerParcel are cheaper than parcel2go. I've now set up an account direct with DHL and pay a bit less with no minimums.

With DHL at least it is worth asking at a sameday branch, if there is one close by, as they also do the overnights and will probably have more flexibility on price for low volumes.

DHL seem useful try them first, then go round smaller firms to price it up.

www.interparcel.com are good, sign up free for an account and get an extra 5% discount. Or I have an account with Business Post, which are a part of Fedex, they are good and cheap too. £7 for parcels upto 15kgs.
