I am planning to bring a small parcel from Europe. Can someone please tell me who is the best and safest one that they used please. I have seen a post on the hub before but cant find it.

Depends on the size and the contents.

 

There is no one (best / safest)  courier to fit all applications. Do you need customs clearance or will you attend to it yourself? Do you need delivery to your address or will you collect at the depot? Dos the parcel contain valuable goods (like antiques for eg) in which case you may need specialist advice on insurance.? Is the goods a purchase or private property (like your mum sending back your watch / earings / nose ring / leopard skin trousers - you left there on your vaction).?

 

If you can supply a bit more info, I or possibly many others could advise better.

I have never had a problem with Fedex, UPS, DHL, Parcelforce, Royal Mail (smaller packages) etc.  Parcelforce is probably the most reasonable option assuming it is a biggish package.  If it's something small (less than 2kg) just use Royal Mail's "International Signed For" option.  As safe and reasonable as you can get.

 

If you are not talking UK then use whichever countries postal service for small packages.  All will offer something similar to "International Signed For".
