Courier to Northern Ireland ? Belfast specifically

[Geek99]

Anyone got one to recommend ? Pickup from East Midlands, going to Belfast. Not parcelforce please as they seem to make a hobby of putting holes in things for me

Interparcel - their standard services use UPS, and every experience I've had with them has been brilliant.

You can insure as well, which I never fail to do if selling.

Don't know about sending to NI, but I've never been able to get one sent from NI using inter-parcel.

I use Parcel Force. Never had any bother. So long as you package these things well enough for it to be thrown off the back of a van and be perfectly safe, it's grand. I always go overboard with the packaging.

Parcelforce don't insure (well, pay out anyway) if its not in a hard case.

Most couriers aren't quoting when destination is NI

Citilink (via parcelmonkey or parcel2go) or APC. Avoid parcelfarce like the plague...

Yep last two things I sent via parcelforce looked like they had been machine gunned

+1 for interparcel. Used them recently, price was reasonable and contents undamaged. England to NI. Would use them again.

Just found them - wasn't quoting them yesterday.

Thanks for the confirmation

Check out Derby Express Couriers. I think we use them when we ship to our distributor in Belfast. Haven't had any bother. (haven't shipped a musical instrument though :-) )

Top tip, thanks

Sadly they don't collect from my postcode and the Nottingham folks they referred me to were less helpful
