who do you use as a courrier?
went to the post office today to send some bits i sold on ebay,but the post office would not take a few of the items as they were large and awkward
shapes. the items are not heavy.(the heaviest is an s2000 bootlid at around 8kg) i called dhl with a rough size and weight and they quoted £55 as i
have no account and have never used them before! any other options as these need sending this week?

parcel2go.com, although they are an agent/broker for some of the others (inc dhl, but are usually cheaper)

there is 3 items going to different places! this is a problem as you have to make 3 seperate orders. if you say you have 3 packages it only gives you
one delivery adress!

I would have loved to see you roll up at the local GPO with a boot lid under your arm

We use parcel 2go for lots of stuff but for awkward shaped things also parcelmonkey - sent a racing bike to London for about £8 and despite 2nd class
service it got there next day, also a jeep soft top and some long roof supports went with them for similar money.
Just had some leaf springs sent down from Scotland with post office and they charged £15, I fear their days are numbered which is bad news for those
of us living out of townatb

I've tried a couple of couriers direct with success but parcel2go is very easy to use and quick to get estimates so I tend to use them
mostly.
They almost exclusively use DHL anyway and its easier and cheaper then going to DHL direct as well!
