enfant_teribl OP My job on the forum Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 1,205 Oxfordshire	I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good courier for a single part that I need shipping. I tried organising something for a different purchase off eBay, going through something called Shipley, and it seemed very expensive Thanks for any info!

Yodel drivers are so hard-pressed for time that they give up exceptionally quickly when they can't find an address. The parcel then goes to their depot and has to be collected - stay clear.

Yodel drivers are so hard-pressed for time that they give up exceptionally quickly when they can't find an address. The parcel then goes to their depot and has to be collected - stay clear. Depot won't be miles away in the most inconvenient location possible, like the Bristol one. Or the delivery driver will either leave it in a totally public place near your door, or throw it over your back garden gate! Awful courier, avoid! Currently tracking Renault 182
