I used Parcel-force as they were better at harder to find or isolated addresses. DHL were formerly very good for me as the driver was Eastern European...we called him Marion but he was really Marius and never let me down on pickup. DHL took over "Ipostparcels" and were pretty good for me.

I used a broker (Parcelmonkey) and again, they were a little cheaper plus they did chase up failed pickups and issues pretty well and out of hours.

I guess I used to have 5-8 parcels go out a week and the only memorable fail was in Southern Ireland which took around 3 weeks and that is another story.

Any courier is as good as the local driver and how isolated your address is.

Find most are good for me, helpful in leaving parcels safely if we're not about. Only one I don't find very good are Evri who have a bad reputation in the Rushden area. Always make sure I have a brief word with them to see how their day is going and sympathetic noises if required.
