Can anyone recommend a courier - Birmingham to Dorset?

Hello,

Slightly random one - but thought I'd test the power of PH

The mother-in-law needs an electric wheelchair, so we found one on eBay and won the auction. Collection only, private seller based in Birmingham - we live in Dorset. I assume the item is not packaged in any way - its just a folding electric wheelchair with a battery charger and manual.

To save a 300+ mile round trip and a wasted day out of my weekend, I was thinking about getting a courier to pick it up on our behalf and deliver it to us.

Was looking at Shiply, which seemed the obvious answer - but some of the feedback I've been reading isn't great (scams, no-shows etc.)

Anyone have a personal recommendation for a reliable courier company that would do a job like this?

Thanks,

Steve.

I'll do it for fuel and a couple of beers. Can't do it until next Friday, though. (08/06)

Really? Thanks for the offer. I'll ask my Mrs to find out what the collection terms were.

So it seems that my wife has agreed to drive up and collect it in person on Wednesday. Thanks for the offer in any case.
