Using a courier has always proved cheaper for me for heavier items such as a printer.

parcel force isn't that bad and worth the extra so you don't have to wait around all day for a courier to turn up. Other than that parcel2go as already said.

Just check weight and size on parcel force website and put that on the ebay listing. They also a normal parcel which takes upto 7days which is pretty cheap. Or at least they use to can't see anything on their website about it.

I just sent a parcel via Parcel Force through the local post office to Italy and it cost me £36. I just had a look on parcel2go and Parcel Force are charging 18.99 on there for the same thing!. How is that possible? Surely it should be more expensive as Parcel Force would have to collect it if I booked it on Parcel2Go !?

I always use Interparcel: http://www.interparcel.com/

Usually choose the DHL Express option and add more insurance if needed.

Very fast service, instant emails and tracking updates are detailed. Turnaround to delivery of item can easily be <48hours as I find when ordering the collection at night and getting the courier knocking on the door at 10am

N00b my bum

I still got in first.

Anyway, I sent a UPS by parcel2go, they aren't a courier, just a broker. My parcel although fairly small weighed in at 31kg and only cost £7.99 which was a bonus

Wait so the "undelivered" printer that you're claiming against Parcelforce for, which your neighbour found in the snow and gave back to you, you're now selling?

You sly bugger but really quite dumb to post all three enquiry threads in the same forum...
