Courier recommendations?
- Thread starter sclose

Martin, so long as it isn't essential that it gets there as quick as possible 
In the interest of fairness and the free market and all that 
, has anyone used, and can therefore recommend, a courier other than Martin? Everyone agrees that Martin is top man for the job, I've never heard any complaints, but just curious as to whether anyone else is trusted to do the job if he's not available in time?

Always Shiply if you want to throw it out there, I used to use a company called Speedlink, cheap and fast but they either sold the business or something, not sure if they are still at it under a different name but may be worth chasing up.
Speedlink were the only other company I'd heard were decent but never used them myself.
I believe Martin's standard price is £85 but could be more if very remote or Isle of Wight, etc.
I've used speedlink before. Took about a week which was quick. They used a massive 17 tonne lorry to deliver so are a big outfit.
Martin has the personal touch but depending on how the moon and the stars align, you'll wait 2 days or 2 months.

I used a good guy last week that covers central London, he can fit two machines in his Zafira but must be made a nice coffee when he drops off
I used Speedlink a few times years ago and never had any problems although I did hear of some pins arriving with smashed backglass and other dunts. I'm thinking better to wait and get it delivered in once piece so I'm using Martin this time. I contacted him and he is sorting it all out. Seems like a genuine, sound dude.
His rates are EXTREMELY competitive!I used a good guy last week that covers central London, he can fit two machines in his Zafira but must be made a nice coffee when he drops off
If Glasgow and not John O Groats LOL id use martin for a pin however long it took. Hadfields transport will shift them within a week for around £90 but they wont be so flexible and you will have to wrap it up in shrink or bubble wrap . also they wont handle cash with the exception from the recipient to pay for the actual transport.
