Perhaps yu need to put on ebay the chance to "Pick up, package and deliver parts to the post office"

Never know someone might do it!

I've used postvan.co.uk to pick up lots of large parts. No probs at all. All the seller has to do is wrap 'em up and address 'em.

parcel2go are crap - loads of people have been messed about by them.

Use Parceforce, if you book on their website you can put in the address you want them collected from, weight of parcels etc... and even book the day and approx time you want them to collect them.

agree about parcel2go, rubbish.
Also, the couriers won't give a time of collection so you have to hope the seller is at home on the day you arrange the collection.

Never had a problem with them, I have used them in exces of 50 times in the last couple of years, only oine issue bu that was put right. I starting using them as parcelforce didnt turn up on 5 occasions to collect my parcel, plus they are expensive IMHO, spose it depends on where you are in the country.

DHL = Drop It, Hide It, Loose It

Try www.parceline.com or www geopostuk.com

I made the same mistake a few times- am now 6 months into a compensation claim for a synth that was smashed to pieces, then there was another one that went awol, and numerous other packages either not collected at all (from me or the sender) or just left on a doorstep by the driver (after ignoring the fact they are supposed to be signed for)

Wouldnt touch them with a 30 foot pole ever again

does appear to depend on your local depot by the sounds of things, oh well each to their own i guess..
