Well, I have decided to use
MPB for the very first time.................quote reasonable................collection booked..................packing the items tomorrow........DPD Collection on Thursday........release some money towards my GAS
................no idea what effect leaving the EU is going to have on new camera gear
PS need to get some bits to make sure they are packed 'the way I would wish to receive a parcel', so shops tomorrow to get the missing stuff.
PPS I can't recall the last time I had a courier collect from my home, let alone which service it was, so with in the case of DPD used by
MPB......does the driver give you any receipt/paperwork confirmation that he had indeed collected the parcel(s)???
