Couriers are a far cheaper way than Parcelfarce.
To be fair, I think our postal service is very cheap in comparison to those in other countries.
It would cost me over twice as much to ship a part from the States to here than it would if I was to send one from here to the States.
I needed a gearbox for my quattro avant a couple of years ago and got a courier to fetch it from Doncaster to mine and they charged £40, which considering the weight, was a decent price I thought.
It would have cost me more than that in petrol in me van to collect it, not taking into account the time spent driving.
