Saw this company and thought it may be of use to some on here. http://www.parcelmachine.co.uk/

I use Parcel Machine quite often.
They mostly use DHL domestic (at a discounted rate).
... but only as good as the local contracted collection drivers.
[Luckily the guy who collects from me is reliable].

Their rates for international deliveries (by DHL) are also pretty good.
Had a delivery collected one Friday afternoon and package was delivered to Perth (Western Australia) on the Monday

I have had good service from parcelmonkey.co.uk. All done online and collect from your stated place. They use City Link in U.K. and DHL overseas. Cheap as well

I've used www.interparcel.com for the last year or so without complaints, sometimes find cheaper but not always as reliable. I once used one guy who was VERY cheap on eBay but I suspect he was running a scam until his account terms got pulled - all good until I had to make a claim and DHL said that *he* had to place it and he wasn't contactable. They unofficially let me know that his account was very much not in good standing...

I've also used ParcelMonkey. Really good service, quite organised and reasonable too. I had been using Parcel2Go but ParcelMonkey was more reasonable - nearly 1/2 the price in fact.

Thumbs up so far from me!
