I'm in London, so access to a larger carrier isn't an issue (in theory). I can literally see the Parcel Force depot in question from the top of my building.
On paper Parcel Force aren't that bad. They said they'd be here between 2-4pm. I got home in plenty of time for that. The problem is that their driver lied to me, them and then turned up in a grumpy huff at 7:00pm and snatched the parcel away from me with an asshole stare.
You know what would have been quicker and only twice as expensive? Flying the damned thing to Glasgow myself. £60 on the plane and 3 hours to get there and back, vs. a 5 hour wait in my house.
