Parcel2Go

Compared with going straight to one of the big carriers, I found this a lot simpler to use, with the prices laid out clearly in one place. I was sending a small parcel to my son in Bristol and the price was good. The label arrived quickly and the courier collected it on the day I'd arranged. Everything was clear and straightforward from start to finish.

Lead with the verdict: this is a good way to send a parcel and I'd use it again. I've been ordering through them for years and the process hasn't changed much, which I like. The label printed clean, the drop off point was close to home, and the parcel reached my sister in Cornwall in the time they quoted. Pricing was fair compared with the other sites I looked at.

What I liked most was getting an email at every stage, so I knew exactly when the courier had it. My first booking, so I was a bit nervous, but it all went smoothly.

Went through several options before I settled on this one, and it came out on price, which was noticeably better than the other sites I checked. My only real gripe is the collection window, which was a whole afternoon, so I had to stay in for a while. Once the courier arrived everything went smoothly and the parcel got to my daughter in Leeds the next day. I'd probably use it again for the price alone.

Used this instead of the post office and it was a lot cheaper, which was the main thing for me. Booking took about two minutes on my phone and I got a drop off code straight away. Dropped it at the shop and it was delivered the next day.

Honestly one of the best sites for sending stuff, the prices are so much lower than the usual ones. Booked a parcel to my mum's on a Sunday night and it got there Tuesday. Easy peasy.

I needed to get a bike wheel to a mate across the country and most sites wanted an oversized quote. This one gave me a clear price for an awkward shape with no surprises. It went without a scratch.

I used them to send a box of books to my brother in Australia, my first time doing an international one. The customs form was a bit confusing at first but the site walked me through it step by step. Price was a fair bit less than I was expecting and it arrived in just over a week, with tracking all the way.

Had a parcel to get to my mum's by Friday and this was the quickest option I found. Booked it on my phone in bed, dead easy. Turned up when they said it would.

I'd bought a jacket that didn't fit and needed to send it back, and the shop's own returns option was going to cost me more than the jacket. Found this, booked a collection from my door and it was picked up the next afternoon. It went back to the warehouse without any fuss, and the refund came through about a week later.

I had a parcel of documents to send to a solicitor and was looking for something reliable. The booking was clear and the price was fair. The tracking gave me the updates I needed, and it arrived as expected.

I've been sending items for my online shop for a while now so I know the courier options pretty well. Used this to send a couple of heavy boxes to a customer in Wales, and the rate was better than what I was getting direct from the main carriers. The label system on the site works properly, which sounds minor but saves me a lot of time when I'm doing a batch in the morning.

Birthday present had to get to my nephew in Newcastle in two days and I was running late. Booked it on my phone while waiting for the kettle. Collected the same evening and it arrived in time.

I was looking at a few different ways to send a set of prints to my parents, and the drop off was the thing that sold me. There's a shop about two minutes from my flat so I didn't have to arrange anything. The booking asked me to re-enter my postcode twice which was a bit annoying, but otherwise fine. They got there in two days and Mum was thrilled.

Honestly the bit that got me was how fast the booking went, I did it on my phone in the queue for the bus and the label came through to my email straight away. Sent a parcel to my flatmate's mum's place in Bristol, arrived the day after the collection. Cheap too, no complaints from me.

Best option I've found for sending stuff, cheaper than the usual names and booking was dead easy on my phone. Got a label emailed straight away and the parcel was collected on time. Would use again.

I've used a few comparison sites for shipping before and this one compares well on price, usually a few pounds under the big names. The sign up took a while though because it kept asking me to confirm my address. Delivery was fine once it started moving, a day later than the estimate.
