saturday courier

[wheresmejumper]

Does anyone know a courier that will deliver to Ireland (from UK) but will pick up on a saturday?
or a weekday after 4 pm but id say thats lengthening an already long shot.
Its a welder btw, boxed at 18kgs

Try www.interparcel.co - iirc they let you set the day for collection.

with ups you can drop the parcel off at a convenient location, and they're not badly priced either. Sent two parcels containing impreza cylinder heads for 18 quid (though it was within the UK).

Thanks, just tried them now.
they dont do saturdays, but they can specify a time but its just outside the sellers window.

I have asked the seller if he can drop it at a collection point earlier, waiting for a reply

I have just used Hermes for a delivery to Ireland, they do Saturdays but not specific times, they do however have depots you can drop off at, usually local garages or supermarkets.

Their prices are good and so far all my deliveries have got there, one did take a scenic route around the UK but got there eventually.

Try Nightline:

They also do "parcel Motel" - if you spot something with free p&p within UK, you get it sent to their Belfast Depot and they deliver from their Dublin depot for €3.50 for a small packet.
They have lockers at local supermarkets/petrol stations. you get a pin number and collect in your own time.
