What is it that you need shifted?
As others have said, MyHermes are fine. I'm shipping all the stuff from my FS threads with them, except small things that can fit in a Jiffy as it's only 30p more to ship those 1st class, or huge things which MyHermes can't take such as the BGW which had to go with Parcel Force.
Hermes work on a 3 day delivery schedule and more than 80% of my stuff arrives in that time, the others are on day 4. They're cheap, my local courier is very nice and is happy to lift parcels early if he happens to call and above all, it's extremely easy to sort out collections and understand what size packages etc they will take.
