DHL are very good.

Be aware of Parcel Force! They break and lose things.

They have lost 2 BTB manifolds, 1 damaged. Late deliveries every time.

I think they have lost some induction parts sent to a customer on here aswell who bought a BMC kit.

Never will ever use them again.

I don't know how expensive they are but my old man swears by UPS, used to ship a lot of karts and race components all around UK & Europe with no complaints

i used parcel force for the first time and guess what they lost two parcels, there service is shite as they dont contact you back to tell you if they have found them or not. i am pretty sure they use DHL as there courier, so maybe its DHL's fault.

allrighty,

fella's lets give this guy the details of some folk who CAN give him the courier service he wants, rather than having a "parcel force bashing" (feel free to do that in the pub talk section though winkeye )

DHL= http://www.dhlgroup.co.uk/express/services/ and click on the "uk" section

I know they have a base out near me (bellshill) but dont know about up your way-probably Edinburgh will be the closest.

good luck
