    I need an alternative to An Post as they are very expensive to send parcels in the UK regularly.
    So I am looking for a good courrier company in Dublin City Center that offers insurance too.

    Any recommendation?

    Thanks

    Any of the big ones,DHL,Fedex or the one who's name escapes me but is on the robin hood road. Most small courier companies would use the big ones anyway,so you would probably making a saving going direct.

    what's the weight of the parcel your sending?
    I found dhl to be a lot dearer than an post when i was sending a parcel to the uk, parcel was 3kg.
    Parcel2go seem to have good rates plus they collect from your door.

    DHL is very dear indeed. My packages weight 3.5kg
    Last time I sent something with DHL it was 45 euro (Small car radio cable). Ok it as here in 24h.
    An post takes 40 euro to ship my parcel. Which I find expensive.

    parcel2go.com seems to be more reasonable, half an Post price, thanks for that link, much appreciated.
