Re: recommend a courier

I have used interparcel many times and have had no issues, like parcel2go they are an agent for the major couriers.

Often the courier is academic, it's the way you package the item that makes the difference.

30kg for InterParcel's own brand economy service. This is actually provided by UPS & although quoted as a 1-2 day service, everything I've sent so far has been delivered next day.

I've sent AIO system ( a sony one actually) via parcel2go for £8 and it arrived the next day

The net weight is usually on the box itself
