Courier for car parts - 18/09/2017 10:51

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!

What is the item you are looking to ship?

Hi Nigel

It is an engine mount. A little hefty, but not sure of the weight

Yup - Parcel2Go, but I'd advise against picking Yodel from the available couriers

I'd estimate the cost at around a tenner

Great - thanks both. Yodel look on the pricey end of the quotes anyway - had you had a bad experience Nigel?

Yes - several. 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!
