Booked and paid for a wheel/tyre to be delivered with collection today.
Collection confirmed by their email.
The useless haven't bothered to turn up.
First time I have used them will be the last.

Thats couriers these days for you I'm afraid.

I used wheelcourier.com a little while ago for four wheels and tyres.
Being very dubious over whether they'd turn up and then delivery I was a little surprised when CityLink turned up to take them away. All worked very well! 2008 FL2 TD4 XS Zermatt Silver, Manual

Funnily enough CityLink turned up 10min ago to collect, presumably on behalf of WheelCarriers.
Explained he was a day late and sent him away.
Will make alternative arrangements.

I've noticed every other parcel I've ordered recently shipped through CityLink seems to arrive a day after it's supposed to. 2008 FL2 TD4 XS Zermatt Silver, Manual

I have been using UPS recently to send some stuff I sold on eBay to Europe and in the UK. Spot on service and quick delivery.

Do not Yodel own DHL now? John

And this is the seriously edited version of a very long story

i've always found FedEx reliable and helpful,

The thing about Royal Mail & Parcelforce is that if I'm out they'll deliver it nearby - I can just walk down and collect. Some of the other outfits are so incompetent I've just said look, tell me your location and I'll drive the half hour each way to collect. Last one - can't remember their name - had a big sign up at the depot: "Take extra care with **** company deliveries - we can't afford to lose their contract too"!

What you say about Royal Mail/Parcelforce may be true but they are also raving expensive compared to UPS.

I sent a motorcycle seat to Austria via UPS who charged me £20....Royal mail wanted over double that. John

I sent a set of side indicators to Dubai via Royal Mail

came all the way back a month later, because the Dubai postal service could not be bothered delivering them

Had to pay again to post them to his office instead

Now i think if i used UPS or fed-ex that would have cut out the postal services all together and been a whole lot easier Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
