I've used these guys on several occasions ... put in the dimensions/weight, choose the service you want .. and it just works ... I've had stuff dome by UPS, DHL and Hermes ... all have been collect and deliver... parcel monkey email the labels, all the sender has to do is pack it, label it, hand it over !! couldn't be simpler IMHO

That's the tricky part "packing" can mean very different things to different people :(

Go and collect it ;)

It's probably in Wales, Scotland or somewhere equally far away from Saffend! :)

Don't expect parcel monkey to be called that for much longer. There may be a few black guys (or gals) working there and they'll probably take exception.

worth checking with the seller that he's prepared to wrap it and wait in all day for a courier to collect too
it's a right PITA
-
And? Be a nice day out and you know it won't all ho horribly wrong.
As an ex courier I try and make a point of packing things in a manner that would have enabled me to collect it.
Yes, I have had to return to private addresses to reattempt collection five consecutive days because the sender either wasn't in or hadn't packed it properly. :-X

Parcel gimp? Daz might turn up ;D

£60 in fuel and a day out versus £30-60 in courier fees plus all the ball ache getting everything arranged in the first place and sorting out the mess afterwards. ::)
-
I can thoroughly recommend NOT going to Stafford for a day out :y
-
Another option, given your obvious penchant for collecting geeetars would be to buy a suitable flight case that you ship to the seller with a prebooked return. :y
-
Or just stop buying them. You can only play one at a time. :P
Says me, who has four of them in the house and almost never plays any of them. :D
-
Stafford/Sarfend, hardly any difference really. ;)
