As title which couriers are good to use to. Im looking at buying at a few car parts such as wings and seats and want to know which courier is good to use that will not damaged such fragile things in transport and also are cheap. Im buying p1 wings and side skirts and want to use a good courier that wont damage them. Thanks

Been using myHermes quite a bit recently, had a massive shed clearout on ebay to start holiday fund for me and my young lady and so far people from all over the country have paid over £500 for all our junk!
All good feedback on them, shipping bought through Parcel2Go

...oh and your best bet is good packaging to start off with...acres of bubble wrap etc
Are they comiing from the same seller? Interesting to see that a pallet on Parcel2Go is only about £60 I imagine stuff on one of those is harder to damage

MyHerpes -- no chance - it depends on the ultimate delivery courier, I have had more damaged parcels by them and yodel than any other.
Also look at interparcel alongside parcel2go

I second that
just had a set of headlights delivered to the buyer and I packed like kids gloves and yet they still got smashed to bits 
so now trying to get compo from myhermes. Not impressed I didn't realise they handed over to second or third parties. I've just sent two more items one of which has gone to France so will wait and see so in my opinion I would not use myhermes again sorry

MyHermes took two and a half weeks to deliver my last parcel.
It weighed under 1kg, was the size of a book. Assuming they lost it and then magically found it.
Never again.

MyHermes and Yodel are useless I sent 5 BBS split rims in the post, only 4 turned up all missing the BBS centre caps, few phone calls and the 5 randomly turned up at the delivery address then when I stated my dad was a lawyer I got my money back for the price of 4 new BBS centre caps.
That was with Yodel
MyHermes have just always been late and parcels damaged when I've received stuff via them
Paisley Freight have been good and interparcel

another sob story for yodel here, headlights turned up smashed to bits and a fat *** dent in the corner of the box
parcelforce48 have been decent for me in the past especially for going NI to mainland - but as said above there is no substitute for pleanty of packaging!

Wouldn't recommend Parcelforce.
£12-odd express air freight from Japan (in 48 hrs), then PF charged £13.50 to pick up from Coventry and deliver to S. Wales - and took nearly 4 weeks to deliver it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

APC and DPD for me
I used to work for myself making and selling clocks and glass topped furniture so my parcels needed to be treated well. My dad worked for APC and he used to send them by 'secure' service. Slightly more expensive but they were always handled well. I never had a single dmamaged item in 2 years unlike parcel force when I visited a customer to find a glass top box had shoe prints all over it and a mashed corner despite the fragile notices.
DPD offer a good text notification service for the receiver which i have found very handy
