Got a set of skirts from ebay to pick up Staffords >>Norfolk . Saw something on here on whose best to use but can't seem to find the thread. Any recommendations ? There were quire different levels of performance from what I seem to recall some good, some to avoid.

 

Thanks in advance

I know a lot of people do recommend Paisley Freight but personally I wouldn't use them. Didn't have a good experience with them. E.g. Didn't turn up for collection/rearranged collection for another day & they still didn't turn up/rearranged collection again & TNT turned up to collect.

Just my experience of them though.

My experience with Hermes is that they take at least a week to deliver anything. It finally arrives and doesn't seem to be abused, though, which I guess is fine if you're not in a rush and want to save a few quid. Literally, a few quid. :dry:

 

From what I understand about Paisley, which I have no experience of, is that they are a middle man rather than an actual courier, so thats why TNT etc will pick up and delivery your parcels. That also kind of explains why they miss pick ups, they're also relying on numbers other companies to do their bit. :shrug:

I don't think side skirts would meet Hermes's size requirements.

 

I usually use paisley freight for larger items like that and have personally never had a problem with them.

 

I've also used parcel2go before successfully, just check that going direct with whoever they suggest isn't cheaper as sometimes it is cheaper on the couriers website.
