[_tom_]

Yeah cheap ones like parcel2go.com are cr@p, I wouldnt use em again. When I booked a DHL collection through them to go and pick up my guitar on a day twinfan had booked off from work especially, they didnt even turn up :x

They really are OK most of the time, and are waaaay cheaper than booking through DHL themselves.  I've used parcel2go.com and various similar others many, many times and have only ever had problems when I wanted to re-arrange a collection day or some other way of changing the original arrangement.

They were cr@p when Tom used them.  Total shite.

I've used Parcel2go lots of times and only once had a problem, when City Link had apparently attempted delivery three times (but the bloke claimed he was in each time).  Then they returned the parcel to me without any warning - fortunately I just happened to be at home that day.

(I ended up delivering it myself.  And the f*cker never left me feedback.)

Having said that I've been using Parcelforce recently - they seem to have reduced their prices, so they're cheaper than Parcel2go now.

Ah, CityLink. A proper bunch of gits.

I recall trying to get some computer parts delivered by them a while back, and being a complete idiot, did so in the middle of July, when everything in NI is shut for a couple of days.

Eventually, I got hacked off waiting, four days after the alleged nect day delivery date, and asked if there was any chance they'd get the stuff to my house. "Er, no sir, we're sort of backed up after the holiday. Is there anywhere in the Belfast Area you could meet the courier?"

At this point, I did feel obliged to remind them my house was in "the Belfast area", and if they could meet me there it'd just be super. This did not go over well.

A week later, the parts arrived.

The lied to me also! They said they laser measure them at the depot and when I asked Zilla earlier, he said he rang them and they don't even bother measuring unless it's obvious that it's too big. bar-stewards!
