I don't like to use the courier services because a) their domestic
delivery services tend to be poor; b) their drivers are given almost
impossible targets to meet which forces them to speed on village
roads. UPS, Panther and Citylink are the worst in my experience in
this country.
I should be interested to hear what response you get Brian - from the
camera shops.
