I have never had any problems with Royal Mail, just P"arse"l Farce. Trying to get a redelivery through their funkin' automated service is the pits! most of the other couriers are good, & will leave my parcels with a neighbour, when I stick my little note by the doorbell!

When your complete loon of a neighbour comes at you with an axe in his hand you'd rather not have parcels left with them by lazy f**king courier companies most of which don't even leave a ticket to say they have called!!! (Sorry rant over!)
I'll finish by saying that DHL were the worst and ANC seemed to be the best of a bad bunch.

Yeah it was £9.75 but would normally be £7.75 for next day delivery.

No, taint, but if the item is worth a few bob, then to get piece of mind and hassle free delivery. It's worth it.

Alright... Who the FUCK is runing down FedEx?!?!
I'll say this Shotta... I have some insight on how to make these decisions. If you want my advice, don't EVER base your decision on a few people's feedback of their delivery drivers. There is just to many variables. One person's delivery guy can be great, another bad. I happen to hate the UPS guy in my area. WHY? because he always delivers around 6pm.... but I'm sure others love him.
Individual delivery driver feedback is going to vary all the time.
Base your decision on who has the best transit time, offers the bast "Value Added" services... all for the best value to you (Weigh service against what you're willing to pay).
This will give you a good path. And if it turns out you made a bad choice, don't be afraid to pull the plug and go back to your old carrier.

by the way, FedEx bought out ANC just over a year ago. Not sure how the conversion is progressing

OK, KotF obviously has a hard-on for FedEx!
They may well be good you deliveries within the US, but you start sending stuff abroad and thats when it gets pricey.
I think Shotta should go with which ever company is reliable whilst at the same time time can give him (and by extension, all of us) a good deal! Lte's be honest, we'd all pay a couple of quid extra just to know that we're gonna get our kicks securely and on time.
Follow your heart Shotta, let your conscience be your guide
