Has any got recommendation for reliable courier apart from DPD? I am disappointed with Royal Mail. 2nd class takes more than 3 weeks to deliver, 1st class is no longer next 1-2 working days. It seems Amazon & DPD are doing pretty good jobs at the moment. www.dpd.co.uk/content/products_services/covid-19-bulletins.jsp |

Hermes are doing well, they will collect or you can drop off at a local parcel shop.

I had an item delivered by hermes which took 2 weeks ! You can see here: new.myhermes.co.uk/track.html#/parcel/1620373251131683/detailsAmazon seem to be reliable. RoyalMail have also been very slow. I don't feel like blaming any of the courrier though since their workload has probably just gone through the roof.

I've had so much stuff for work being delivered over the last few weeks and found UK Mail (DHL) to be the most reliable, e.g. order something night before and it arrives the next day.
Amazon Prime is taking about a week. My Royal Mail deliveries are so irregular I've given up keeping track.

DHL is pretty good, 24 hours collection & delivery, not expensive, much cheaper than DPD.
