svp.co.uk - international carrier or royal mail delivery?

Stark

Ordering off www.svp.co.uk and it's offering me "International Carrier" delivery for £11 and "Royal mail" delivery for £12. Which one is better?

International carrier is Parcelforce/gls and it is quick; 1-2 days. Despite the well documented grief that gls deliveries from USA seem to incur I have never had any problem with svp deliveries.

Royal mail would be regular post and judging from orders from other companies (mainly amazon.co.uk) I would say it would take about 1 week, maybe more.

note: I have always been in when the gls courier arrived so I don't know what the situation with undelivered parcels is but by all accounts dealing with their all but non-existant CS department is something to be avoided. If the An post order is not delivered you have to pick it up at your local sorting office within three days.

Avoid GLS like the plague...

avoid gls > i thought that aswell

but its wrong,
GLS from svp rock, i ordered 100dvdrs and a case and used the internation carrier, ordered at 7/30 pm on monday night, had its on weds morning, i thought it was amazing,

i wasnt expecting it for about 2weeks from hearing stuff from gls,

go with gls , you wont be dissapointed

I think GLS reliability depends on where you're living

I've had GLS deliveries to Limerick from SVP and it only took 2 days. Same for several orders. Friends ordered from Komplett and choose GLS and again delivery was about 2-3 days. Maybe it's only in Dublin they have trouble?

have had two recent orders with SVP, both went in on an Monday afternoon, both delivered on the Wednesday morning to the midlands
excellent postage service in my experience, the £11 option
