Thedrum2010 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Morning all. Tried the search function, however i'm looking for the most up to date advice. I need to send a buggy with 1 lipo connected. Which courier is safest to use to avoid problems ? Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I would use parcelforce, tell them it's got a battery in it and they will stick a warning sticker on the parcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 FYI; don't leave the LiPo plugged in when not in use. I personally use Parcelforce, there isn't an option to tell them there is a battery in it on there website, because they take them anyway, when it's a single one with the device it's intended for. And they collect from your house and print the labels, for no extra charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'd use Interparcel and select the Parcelforce post office drop off option which will save you nearly two quid over dealing direct with Parcelforce. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53HRA Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 www.ipostparcels.com . Sent a package last week for £12 that was covered to £170, automatically sent next day delivery, collected from a chosen address and tracked all the way with a text in the morning for an estimated delivery time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 HERPES have just 'misplaced' a collector's GT40 I'd ordered for the slot track - said they'd tried to deliver on several occasions - at 07:00 and 18:00+ - to a BUSINESS ADDRESS - then say it was 'left in Reception' - no signature, nothing. Nobody has seen it at all - AND THEY WOULD. VERY SUSPECT apparently trying to deliver out of office hours to a business address .... !! I was very impressed with them over the last 2 years, but this APPEARS blatant theft - I will get a full refund apparently once all is confirmed. Al.

John Out of interest, how much do you pay for that? I've never known it to be cheaper. I pay £11.03 via PF direct, or I think it's £9.80 odd if you drop it off at the PO.

johninderby Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hermes have a habit of turning over small packages to a local man with a hatchback when they're either too busy or don't have many deliveries to your area. That's when things go missing a lot and you get nonsense delivery details. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I now use DPD through Interparcel. Their drop off price is £7.02 inc. VAT. Local chemist is a collection point.

John All my Hermes and deliveries are carried out by independent couriers, who are self employed, that can be a guy with his own truck or some geeza with a Vauxhall nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I now use DPD too, for £7 if you drop it off at one of their drop off shops you cannot go wrong. Never had issues and a great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
