Courier recommendations?

    Hey guys and gals.

    I have started selling some stuff online and am looking to get recommendations of couriers. I have tried Nightline via Parcel2Go but am having some bad times (it's taken 6 days for my two day delivery and still hasn't arrived at it's destination, and they never bothered showing up for a collection today for another package).

    As a single package sender at the moment, a lot of courier services seem out of bounds; many won't talk to me and many quote me stupidly high prices. An Post, likewise, looks way to expensive to be shipping boxes of 10kg or so.

    Any recommendations of a decent courier for someone working off a low budget?

    Hi,

    If you are business, open account with GLS/DPD. Prices are very competitive.

    Fastway are pretty good. And I find GLS OK too
