    I need to send a package to London from Galway but it has to reach London by 3.30 on the same day.

    It is really very important that it be same day. Is there any courier that may be able to do this?

    Can anyone think of anyway this might be possible short of me bringing the package myself?

    I have time to plan it, but I've tried fedex and dhl and both say they can't do same day so I'm at a loss and need ideas if anyone has any.

    I would say not. Even same day delivery in Ireland can be a tough one to find. International has no chance.

    OP buy me a return flight to London+ tube costs and I'll do it for you, I know the city like the back of my hand and wouldn't mind visiting a few friends. PM me if this helps.

    You could ring someone like a medical supply manufacturer & ask nicely if they have that service & if so what couriers they use. Boston Scientific & I think Merit Medical manufacture in Galway, but have their distribution warehouses in the Uk, I'm sure there are others, possibly pharmaceutical companies with similar set ups as well. The nature the product they supply, if anyone manages it, I'm sure they do.
