Reccommend a courier where I can deliver the parcel to them
I've had an enquiry from the Netherlands for an exhaust I'm selling. Royal Mail want about £40, couriers are asking about £22 but they
want to collect from an address on a week day at an unspecified time and I'm always at work.
I need a courier who is cheap but who have a depot near me that I can take the parcel to when I'm available. Any ideas?

how busy is it round your house? if we've got anything to be collected by courier, we just leave it on the door step. courier completes the
paperwork and posts it through the door.

Parcel2Go will collect from your work address. Used them loads of times for eBay stuff.

Another vote for parcel2go.
I usually take the parcel to their local depot.
I book it in and pay online first though.

lol yeah, depends where you live 
when couriers drop parcels off, they leave them on the door step too (behind the rather big plant pot)
never lost one yet!

I stopped using P2G as they failed to collect on so many occasions it was unreal.
I now just use parcel force or shiply.
