Recommendation against

[andrewducker]

If anyone is planning to send parcels long distance, can I heartily recommend against BusinessPost - not only did they tell me on Friday that they'd reattempt delivery today (so I stayed in waiting for them), their "Edinburgh" delivery depot is in fact out past the airport, making it impossible for me to pick up the parcel.

I'm arranging for it to be redelivered through someone that will leave it at a post office if I'm not in, but this isn't the first time BusinessPost have caused me this kind of hassle.

I could say the same for citylink, when I tried to get a mobile phone delivered. I got it, eventually, about 2 weeks late, after it had been all the way around edinburgh a few times. First excuse was the driver couldn't find Blackfriars Street...

Having been in the courier business for a number of years I would suggest avoiding White Arrow too.

I use www.parcel2go.com who work with DHL and Omega Securior. Never had any issues and I now use then for all large Ebay items. Reasonable too.

Love the recommendation tag.

On that note, did you get the book I sent you?

Yup - dropped into work yesterday to pick up a USB cable and it was on my desk, so I've run away with it for Holiday reading.
