I think this needs to be a FAQ along the lines of;

"Q: Which courier service is best?"
"A: It depends."

Because IME, Parcel Force are the best, CityLink somewhere in the middle
and UPS unremittingly ****e.


Someone should do a website mash up of google maps and reviews of the
abilities of different parcel delivery firms. And then map that to names
of supplier companies that use those delivery firms.

At the top of this mash-up there would be a search page for products,
deliverable at your location with a results page listed in decending
'probablity of receiving item' order.

Eventually, someone would figure out the supplier with the highest
probability of getting product to yeself in the UK, would be a little
one man (and goat) operation in the outbacks of deepest china via eBay.
EMS is so cheap!!!
