Company to do international pickup?

cruhoortwunk

Not sure if I have the right forum really, feel free to move it mods.
I need a package picked up from Spain. The car rental company won't post it to me, so I have to arrange for a company to do the pickup.
Fedex seem to do it for around 40 quid.
Trying for about 3 weeks to setup a fedex account though, but their process is shambolic.
UPS quoted me 90 quid for the same pickup.

Any ideas on a company that might do it for a reasonable fee?
Or does anyone know much about cash on delivery, and who might do that for me?

Email citypost.ie and parcel2go.com , they will have to quote you a price for that as their websites don't seem to have a collect in spain option.

Actually just looking at parcel2go, they quote around 43+vat (so around 53euro) to send someting to spain (with fedex) and citypost quote something similar so you might be as well to go with your fedex quote. But email them anyways, you never know.

Once again , we could only recommend TPN .( The Pallet Network ) .

Find your local courier and give them a buzz .

Your packet would come by road though and would take around 5 working days

Cheers for suggestions lads

Do TPN do pickups as well as shipments? ie from Spain to Ireland?

Yes indeed TPN will pick up in most European countries
