I am quite a regular 'eBayer' but I am often put off making purchases or collect only items - but today I had a revelation - having bought a printer in Oxfordshire with the idea of nipping down to collect it - my wife said why not use a courier. So I tried the big names - and despite advertised prices being reasonable- the bottom line was too expensive.
I then tried http://www.interparcel.com/ - this is an e-business that has several accounts with couriers and using there on-line service - a virtual service- you can have your package picked up by a well known name but at less than half the price they would charge for a 'one off'. Of course you can only do this if the seller is prepared to package the item and print out the label for you.
Great - it was picked up this morning - lets hope it finds it's way home.
