Parcel delivery firms: which are the best and worst?
With the festive season upon us, parcel delivery firms are zipping around the UK helping out the big man in the red suit. Yet sadly parcel delivery horror stories abound - ranging from no-shows to “they threw the goods over the fence” or “they lied that we weren't in”.

Please rate your experience with each of these firms DURING THE LAST YEAR (don’t rate if you haven’t experienced their services).
