    Courier Company for regular delivery USA

    Can anyone recommend a courier company we could use, maybe having an account with, to ease the hit on shipping stuff to our son in USA?

    Using one off Post Office/Royal Mail is pricey so we thought of taking an account out with a company eg UPS, DHL etc

    I use Eurosender, recommended to me by a fellow Forumite here.

    So far, shipments all over the world (watches) have been flawless, fully insured and much faster than regular post etc

    I use parcel monkey to compare prices, I used to use the works account to send stuff, the boss was happy for stuff in the UK to be sent as and when needed providing I didn’t take the mickey, if going out of the UK I settled when the invoice came in, so might be an option if your work have any accounts.

    Suggest UPS (or DHL). though I use Parcel2Pro on a personal basis - get commercial rates.

    Thanks Bry and Martyn.

    Having an account (personal) is the way to go it seems. It gets discounts apparently!

    I have a Dpd and dhl trade account and I can’t get anywhere near the 3rd party shipper rates - postage supermarket and transglobalexpress are always cheaper with Dhl than our own account!
