Hi, does anyone have experience of a courier service, I need to get a half engine from Gloucester to Essex, in the next few weeks, Speed shift was mentioned in an earlier post, but the reviews for this company are not good.

Re: parts couier services
I'd agree re Yodel. Seems to be cut down to a price with cheapest possible drivers and anonymous plain vans. Had no end of trouble getting them to collect. I use TNT now, more pricey but even the driver phones me up and lets me know when he's running late, which is what you want to know.
Similar subject, need to send a box of panels inc door skins to Australia. Anyone any reccomendations for overseas? Sorry to hijack thread slightly....

Re: parts couier services
email my brother in law Dave. Either him or Jeff will sort you a quote out.
They have moved recently so I think the telephone number may be out of date. I'll put it up when I find it out.
