Can anyone advise on the best way to send parcels please?
I need to send 3 boxes up to Edinburgh and they need to be there by Thursday or Friday.
Each box weighs approx 20 kilos and are 30cm x 30cm x 25cm.
The person who I am sending them to (my son) will be out of the house by lunchtime for the rest of the day. There may be someone else in the house but not guaranteed. He could pick them up from a location but as they are heavy and he doesn't have his car with him then he will need a taxi to take them home.
I have gone on the UPS website for a quote and its £43 for anytime delivery but if it's late in the afternoon then he won't be in.
Guaranteed before 10.30 am is £63 and before 9.00am is £126.
Does anyone know any other reliable companies that are more competitive please?
