My god - just tried to book online. Clcked 'sending within the UK',
then on the next page I accepted terms and conditions, then clicked
send now.

Ha.

It still annoys me I'm not allowed to attach my Mac to the LAN where I
work 'for security reasons', yet people take their company Windows
laptops home, do whatever the hell they do with them, then come back
and plug them straight into the network.

Anyway, parcelforce did me a favour. TNT were cheaper any it worked
with Safari no problem at all. I did look at the parcelforce.com site
though, using a copy of a Virtual PC image I keep for such occasions.
The copy will summarily be deleted, and parcelforce.com consigned to
the dustbin of my memory.


Cheers,
Ian

I sent them an email 4 days ago, via their web page, about a parcel
that is showing in tracking as having been logged into the national hub
on 10/01/2006. Wanted to know where it was. No reply. The two times
I've had a chance to call them their automated system tells me the
exact info I get from the web site (after telling me the best way to
track is via the web site) and then when I try to talk to a person I'm
told the call centres are closed.

Tossers.

Parcel2go.com is pretty good (DHL IIRC).
