    Hi, I'm just wondering is there any courier service that will do cash on delivery. I will have to give money to the courier person to give to the seller.?

    I use Gerry in Streetlink 07 671 4411, for the last 7 years. I have no connection to them other than as a courier company. I haven't used them for COD, but found them very good overall, reliable service. I am sure they would help you out.

    and so do dpd.

    Why not lodge into the seller's bank account directly? - Appoears instantly and a lot safer. - Be very aware of handing cash over - no proof of tranaction.

    Offer paypal or pay cash into their account.

    Thanks for the reply, I'll try DPD and GLS and compare prices. I have been transferring money online via Paypal and bank transfers up to now but need another option as some people don't like the idea of giving out bank details to strangers which I fully understand.

    Thanks for the reply, I have an account already but they don't do COD. I'll try An Post and compare prices with the other courier services above.

    Every cheque has the bank details printed on them - so why anyone would be concerned about giving them is rather weird. Most companies also print them on invoices and statements and even publish them on their websites.
