whats wrong with her majestys service?

Do not use Citylink.

They will attach your package to a blind tortoise and sent it to Scotland rather than using a van.

Bite me.

They've been late with every package so far for me, and the latest one arrived soaked in superglue with ******* footprints on the box marked fragile.

You need to give more details. What size, weight, value, specific contents (if not private) etc.

Royal Mail Special Delivery is as good as it gets for small packages that need delivering quickly.

Its a tft monitor 17" of acer tft. 10kg.

Don't touch Parcel2Go

I've always used http://www.sendaparcel.com/ - they send it via Parcel Force but they're far cheaper than going to Parcel Force direct. Always reliable

oweneades · 3 Apr 2006 at 14:07

parcel force have always been good for me.

citylink SUCK
they sent my parcels to some random address in the middle of nowhere, and then the branch manager arranged for a special delivery for me to get this parcel back - again they sent to another random address... this continued for about a month. avoid like the plague.

Just find the chepeist, it really is down to your local Distrabution center/driver as to how you'r package arrives and not the company as a large. Whats good for one person wont be good for another.

Careful. Some of the cheaper ones don't insure against damage to glass - and that includes TFT panels.

Agreed.

Johnny Girth · 3 Apr 2006 at 15:35

Yes, read the terms and conditions but as I recall most TFT monitors use plastic, yes? So if it doesn't insure against glass specifically then you should be okay.
