Hi, looked on site couldn't find a recomendation category so posting here I just recently sold a set of cocktail shaker exhausts and needed to post to Cornwall so looked on line for a parcel company everyone one of them needed me to print there labels !!!! so Googled parcel sending with no printer came across this company - PARCEL MONKEY picked no printer option driver brings his own printed labels when he picks up, great started inputting information for pick up now bearing in mind this was after 23.00 hrs all done, told me package will be picked up next day between 8am - 6pm sure enough 11.15 am picked up, the other party had it the next day before 10am !! NOW THAT'S GOOD SERVICE MAYBE NOT THE CHEAPEST - BUT COST WAS ONLY £8.22
Its good to get a broader idea of a company, I can only speak for my own experience I hadnt heard of them before and I was posting in the uk, I may have been lucky !! So I guess its pay your money and take your choice, Sorry things turned out like that and you had such a bad experience, What I did remember was I tried to pay extra for some insurance but exhausts were on there excluded list, seem to remember a lot was, because i tried listing as motorcycle parts and had the same result !!! Guess I was lucky on this occasion maybe, learn by ones own experience PS ITS PROBABLY A LOT WISER NOT HAVING A RECOMMEND CATEGORY
I would normally use Hermes also, but to do so again I need a new printer or one with ink would help !!!!
I always use Hermes for parcels if I've sold stuff on ebay - including exhausts and handlebars. Have to print the label (sat on a computer all day so no problem there) and I choose to drop off at my local Hermes pick up point (filling station in next village). Exhausts had to go in the car but everything else goes on the bike - good excuse for a run out. Never had any problems and it's about the cheapest.
I've had sellers use My Hermes for my bought items, never had any problem with them or DPD, but I try to find out who sellers use first before I buy, if its YODEL no sale!! Totally hopeless, not fit for purpose.
