    I prefer DHL, because they come earlier for me :P

    Never had an issue with any of them to be honest. Every time i've used any of the 3 they have come off no probs!

    Yeah all three are very good, they're the shortlist really.
    I was just wondering if anyone had any preference with how each handles tracking or failed delivery etc as I've been impressed with DPD and their tracking - on the day of delivery u can get a time of delivery like between 1pm and 2pm which comes in handy.
    Thanks for your input so far guys

    DPD are great for tracking. I believe they send you an SMS updating you on the estimated delivery day and time within 1 hour accuracy. They do when I order from scan anyway.

    Yeh I like DPD, had no experience with DHL or UPS. However I will say avoid CityLink like the plague they are completely useless.

    And in my experience Scan are rubbish as well, our firm use them as a trade supplier and they constantly mis-ship orders and don't dispatch on time. Rant over .

    Right, some news on this. We have gone with UPS as we can do everything on their site or through an android app.
    We also have a single point of contact for our account should we need to call in orders etc. He has been very helpful.
    Also UPS were the easiest to start a dialogue with, it's 2011 and neither DHL or DPD have anything on their website to open an account. I personally don't like opening accounts over the phone as they never spell everything correctly atleast online you know you have entered the right email address and spelt your name right.
    So in the shipping section UPS is under Flat Rate. Untill I can find the definition.
