Don't really know where to post this question but as I want some info I will stick it in here.

I need to send an item approx 3ft x 1ft x 1ft from North Hampshire to Wales and was wondering which company people use for this type of service. Any/all suggestions welcome.

Apologies in advance if this is an inappropriate thread for this part of the forum.

Try these people. I've started using them and they are very good. They collect from your door and it is fully trackable and their prices are good. One little tip, go for their cheaper two day option as the courier companies that they use will still deliver it on a next day arrangement. Here's the link http://ebay.parcelmonkey.co.uk/

Hope this helps, Graham

Only problem with Post office is all their items are put into cages & workers do tend to bend things to get them in !!
Not very good if its 1 of 1st in cage with lots on top or rod or pole that may be a bit long !!
Sent for some spare sections last year , They came in a Brilliant Heavy duty tube & they were all broke !!
You could actualy see the footprint were it had been stamped on .
When i complained they explained that due to their system it was inevitable there would be a few Breakages
Was Compensated but not the point is it ??
