DHL got a package there in 4-5 days, paid extra for the express option.

Check out interparcel.co.uk

It will give you a range of options for different couriers. You will pay more for a faster service.

Pick one that will allow you to drop stuff off as it's bank holiday on Monday (if in England / Wales) and they probably won't pick up now until Tuesday if you booked a collection (but when dropping off be aware that they might not get collected from the drop off shop later in the day either).

DHL and FedEx as they have their own planes. Everyone else has delays

It was about 40-60 pounds, but it was a light package as it was only documents so under 1kg I suspect. We could have got it for 30 pounds I think for a 7-12 day delivery I think.

I’ve always used Send My Bag. Typically about £40 and takes 2-3 days.

Yep very reliable in my experience. My mum used to use them to send me various bits when I lived in Chicago. I most recently used them end of last to return something to my tenants that shouldn’t have ended up in my shipping and all went as it should.
