Bryanj:
Not the area mate, its the courier in this area Don't seem to care at all and NEVER leaves a contact number

Rozabikes Tim:
Bryan is right.

Hermes often work using  self employed individuals and their own vehicles for initial collection and delivery. They then service the larger national  distribution hub / big branded trucks etc. For example the guy who does Hermes in our area works using the roughest little Peugeot 106 you have ever seen. He is reliable however.

I think with a lot of carriers they load drivers up with too many parcels to handle. Hence inefficiency / unreliable service.

As had been said a company like interparcel are good. They are basically a company offering the services of all the big carriers in one place. You can then select the most economical service that fits your needs

I just had notification the parcel has been delivered, I call that good service, will use them again

pptom:
Also use Collect+ more often than not - think they use the 'home delivery network' as couriers - they always say 3-5 days but the last parcel i sent was there in 2.
Only small issue is that, despite advertising up to a certain size parcel, a couple of shops round here will not take one that big.
Perfect for me though - cheaper than royal mail, tracked, insured, can buy online 24hrs a day via paypal and because i spend all day driving around town, I'm always passing a shop.
