I've found them all to be pretty much the same, however would recommend Parcel2Go for booking as they seem to give the best rates (or at least they do for more regular sized parcels)

After recent experience with dpd I wouldn't trust them to deliver a message let alone anything of financial value.
Dishonest driver who lied about attempting delivery. No way of contacting to question delivery lateness / no show. Nobody available to talk to. No Sunday opening or delivery.
Of course it's all subjective. Some people are OK with that level of service

Todber Manor sent my glasses with them and the service was exceptional and the guy that dropped them at my door was spot on.I do live in a decent area though

Not long ago I purchased a 25kg bag of potatoes from the potato guys up in Scotland.
Anyhow when purchasing it was on a next day delivery and to be delivered by DHL.
Anyway the potato guys slogan is ‘in the ground one day, on your doorstep the next'.
Well that didn't happen as in fact they got delivered 6 days later.
I then proceeded to put on the potato guys Facebook page ‘in the ground one day, on a DHL's delivery drivers plate the next'.
Anyway guys those potatoes are 3100dy delicious but quite costly at £15 a bag though that includes delivery anywhere nationwide.
Get on them.

DPD definitely the best for deliveries in central London. You pretty much have the same guy every day, we use them for business.

I personally would swerve Hermes at all costs, even if it's the cheapest! Had nothing but issues with them....

I have used Tuffnels arranged through Interparcel for sending bivvies and rods multiple times and would recommend them.
They came out to be the cheapest every time. They collected the item from me, delivered them the next day all fully tracked insured etc.
Cost between £25-£35 depending on the item and how far it was going.

YOU CANNOT Condemn a company because of someone having a bad experience
as the TRUTH is it depends entirely on the driver in your area
Hermes the Lady goes above and beyond that collects and delivers my parcels and yet heard horror stories from people in different areas
DPD had very good and just one very bad delivery with them with them
Parcels2go sent stuff with them no issues at all
BUT A COMPANY IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS DRIVERS IN YOUR AREA
I got to tell you about the post office on Friday I wanted to send a small parcel/packet to a friend I forgot about it until 16.30 ! rushed to the post office bloody Q !
I got to the counter at 17.15 explained I wanted to get the parcel next day (Sat) she said as I had missed the 17.00 collection the only way it would be £12 something !!
so I said oh well in that case as it wont get there till after the weekend whats the cheapest recorded delivery then ?
£3.79 ok that will do she said 2 to 3 days
GUESS WHAT !! it was delivered Sat at 11.30 !!!!!

You see that is the problem recommending things to people, I send rods most weeks and tuffnells have lost 2 sets dpd ran over 1 set with a forklift in a warehouse , I sent 3 sets of rods by tnt and all 3 customers got the wrong sets ! It really is a lottery.
Gerry my hermes driver is fantastic , would,nt send anything with them as obviously its not him delivering it 👍
