diablo   10 #25 Posted July 16, 2012 I've got a bid for £25 with anyvan so I think I'll just go with that, seems a fair price. Thanks everyone.  You could ask Mike at MNS Freight for a quote, not sure it could beat the £25 but worth a shot for nothing? details below.

Leah-Lacie   10 #26 Posted July 16, 2012 I sent a rug a few years back, not sure on the exact size but obviously wasn't small, maybe 160x90cm or something, but rolled up to maybe 160x30cm. I took it to the PO on Prince of Wales road, and they said I could send it, but not from there, I'd have to go up to Stradbroke. Don't know why, but they took it and sent it, think it cost about £10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Amaranthus   10 #30 Posted July 23, 2012 I went with the Anyvan bid of £25. Would recommend the site. Courier arrived for the day I arranged, but the strange thing is that the guy who picked it up said he was the one who had delivered it to me as well...

gjm1 Â Â 10 #31 Posted August 26, 2012 Well stay WELL clear of Parcel Force they delivered boxes worth over 2000 pounds to the wrong address TWICE they said they did this because I was not in when they called and left it with a neighbour. The neighbour then denied all knowledge of it surely they can not just drop or dump because they can not be bothered to put a card through the door. I know quite a few other people who have had trouble with deliveries marks out of 10 for this company 0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
