First time i've used these people.
Seems to be a good and useful service. You can choose from a list of couriers, and have the stuff collected and delivered. You pay online, print out a postage label and thats it.
Cheaper than contacting the courier direct.
Only problem might be weighing heavy items.
I went with DHL and they were very efficient.

I have used them in the past and found the service reasonably priced and reliable.

I had a parcel to go to near the north Pole ( Aberdeen area)

I used parcel 2 go and chose City Link 2 day service.

I booked it about 12.00 Tuesday, it was collected about 5pm Tuesday and delivered before lunch Wednesday (today).

I think that's pretty damn good.

Parcelmonkey do the same thing and are occasionally cheaper.

I've used Parcel-2-Go a few times and they were good, very reasonable rates too.

Only downside is I've been spammed to death by them ever since. Fortunately I've blocked them with Mailwasher (software).

FWIW through my own experience of couriers:

The best: DPD by a country mile and Parcel Force locally is very good (SE London).

Absolute tosh: HDNL/Yodel order from suppliers who use this lot at your peril; City Link, who seem to have a knack of recruiting drivers with less intelligence than an amoeba.

The City Link driver who collected from me was self employed. He was a bit fed up trying to find places but seemed a fairly normal sort of bloke.

I spend about £8000 pa on carriage, sending all over the World. Big stuff goes using Interparcel [usually UPS who collect] Their service is excellent and I can add and book items up until the driver collects. Small stuff goes via Royal mail who are rather good at losing items in the UK but some foreign post offices are even better and losing items; Spain, Italy and Russia being the worst in my experience.
I used to have an account with Interlink but they are unreliable, tried [Home Delivery Network now Yodel] who are terrible.

Another positive experience from Parcel to Go using City link.

A 2 day service parcel to Al Newall took under 24 hours.

Left me about 2.30PM Wednesday and got to Al at 10.30AM Thursday.

Citylink done it again received next morning i.e today At 10:39am why can't the others manage that

I used Parcel2go to send one of the isolation transformers.

Using the UPS option and taking the item to the nearest UPS access point was both convenient and affordable.

It just remains to be seen how UPS cope with transit and delivery.

That's two peeps we haven't heard from lately, Al & Colin...

I'm lurking.

You naughty lurker you ..
