Best courier to use?

J86 · 14 Aug 2010 at 01:02

So i've sold a PC on the bay and charged £25 for delivery.

I've looked around quite a bit and most of the major couriers are around the same price as each other.

Has anyone ever used a courier to send a PC, if so, who did you use and how much did it cost etc?

Also, any additional insurance I should get or anything?

Thank you

Make sure you put a bit of bubblewarp inside between the components! if that box takes a knock it could knock something out and break it then you'll have the buyer at you.

If you use the Interparcel Economy delivery they use UPS which is a fantastic service which is generally next day for under 7.50.

I don't use couriers for sending parcels but most of my deliveries come via City-Link which is great here.
It all depends on the local depot of the recipient as I have heard horror stories about most courier firms.
I found DHL to be pain but parcel force OK
