There is a tremendous variation in the efficiency of the various carriers depending on the location and the state of the local depot/drivers. DPD are good in my locality, DHL not so. Evri have a truly terrible reputation and are abysmal locally but some areas perform perfectly OK. Royal Mail are excellent here but their service has really taken a hammering with the recent strikes and parcels are getting lost nationwide.

It really is pot luck at the moment Graham so you pays your money and takes your choice. Have you tried FedEx?
