UK couriers

Postby CJ » Fri Jun 16, 2006 9:21 pm

Can anyone recommend a courier who would pick up car parts in the UK and deliver them back to Ireland?

GLS Ireland should be able to hook you up..
.. we use them in work - very competitive pricing and always on time..

Insured - Signed for & tracked service..

I'm a fan :-)

Out of the three, Nightline got back to me with a price (albeit a little steep), GLS wouldn't deal with me becuase I'm not a business customer and Interlink wouldn't collect unless the other party had an account with them, the joys of dealing with Irish business, eh?!

You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine'.

Wow, old thread! In a word, no. The company in question messed me about a bit (GLS) at the time, got the parts in the end though.

Yeah I remember that well..

GLS aren't expensive but are somewhat unreliable when collecting from non-business premisses..

When I had my last big thing shipped over I used one of the services I found advertised on eBay - it was a bit dear (100gbp) but it worked really well.
