I have a parcel to send and Royal Mail/Parcel Force are very pricey. Hermes get recommended up here but are they good everywhere? A quick forum search suggests possibly not. In this instance it will be a postage tube (large) and the contents will be sold on e-bay so could possible go international.
Thanks for any recommendations.

I've just seen this. Probably will be good but might not be. Any other recommendations for a private citizen?
I've used Yodel a few times recently for stuff sold on Ebay, all worked out fine and cheapish.
[url= http://www.senditnow.com/index.epl ]Send It Now[/url] this is Royal Mail but cheaper going through this site.
I have used them a lot with no problems.
Domestic only though.
[url= http://www.parcel2go.com/ ]Parcel 2 Go lets you compare costs from numerous different companies. I have used this quite a lot as well.[/url]
I also used parcel2go recently for selling a few bike bits. No complaints, all went well.
CollectPlus are pretty cheap, you can drop it off at a local shop. Though max size of 60x50x50cm. Its delivered by Yodel.
This gives you a good number of options : www.interparcel.co.uk
We now use APC for a collection and delivery services.
TNT and Yodel aren't great
There was a PSA on here a couple of days ago which might help.

i have used most in the past and i can assure you Yodel are probably the worst I've ever seen , beyond belief ( left a bike frame in the street by my front door and made up a delivery signature ) . How they are still around amazes me. i think even for a few pounds more Parcel force are worth it, I've sent frames all over europe and never once had a problem. i think of the extra cash as a little peace of mind but I'm sure people have had poor experience with them its just i haven't .
