Posted a small padded envelope to my landlord in Reading on the way to work and the counter lady had it weighed and sorted in two minutes. Tracking showed it arrived the next morning, so no complaints from me.
Read moreSending it through here was the middle option out of the few I priced up. The courier firms looked a few pounds cheaper but I wanted the proof of posting. Took two days, the box got a bit squashed but the bike part inside was fine.
Read moreWent in to the post office with a small box for my brother in Newcastle and the thing that stood out was the tracking page, which updated almost every hour, so I knew when it hit the depot. Handed over at the counter on a Tuesday lunchtime and it was with him by Thursday morning. Couldn't ask for more really, just wish the counter queue had been shorter.

Sent a tracked 48 parcel to my mum in Leeds on the way to work, dropped it at the post office counter and the tracking updated every few hours so I could see it getting there. Arrived a day early, she was chuffed. Quick and easy, nothing to complain about.
Cheaper than the rest I looked at, and the tracking was the detail that sold it for me. Dropped a parcel off at the local post office for my mate in Glasgow. Got updates all the way up and it turned up when it said it would. Easy.
Compared to the other couriers I tried this one was the one that felt least faff. I sent a jacket and a phone case in the same box. The tracking updates were quick, the signature was easy to request and it landed the next day. Paid less than the other two I priced up, which was the main reason.
Compared to the big courier I usually use, this was far less hassle for sending a small parcel to my son in Bristol. The post office staff weighed it properly and gave me a receipt straight away. Collection was on time and it arrived the next morning.

I needed a dependable way to send out my craft orders each week and have relied on this for many years. The collection driver knows our street and is always punctual. Tracking is clear and the staff at the counter are friendly and helpful, which makes a real difference when you're busy.
Easily the cheapest way to get a small parcel across the country that still has tracking. I booked a label on the site, printed it at home and it was collected the next morning without any fuss. Good value for what you get, and I'll keep using them for returns.
Printed my return label at the local shop and the lad behind the counter had it done in about five minutes. The label scanned first time and the parcel was collected the next day. Didn't have to wait around at all.
Sent my nan's birthday card and a little book to her in Sheffield on the way to uni. Got it tracked and the updates came through on my phone. Arrived a day early.
Ordered a shoe return label on the app and got it printed at the local shop in about five minutes, which was a lot easier than I expected. The parcel went off the same afternoon and the refund landed in my account three days later. Honestly no complaints, I'll use this again for sure.
