How do i go about using a courier for an ebay delivery?

[saltire]

I have agreed to list something for a friend, and it's heavy, postage would be too much. I was going to use a courier. I know people have mentioned 2 in particular on MN threads before, namely Pay per drop and selective2007. How do i go about finding these couriers as i have tried googling them and looking on ebay but have drawn a blank. A link to either would be appreciated. TIA

spelling! you get the idea! lol

Thank you. Do i just buy it as a normal ebay transaction, then give them the details of the thing i want them to collect and deliver?

Yes, buy Payperdrop in an ebay transaction. Then there is a dropdown menu on their shop page to fill in with your details. That said, one of the times I used them I couldn't get the link to work, so I just did it over the phone which was fine. Have your item number ready.

I used Send4U last week and they were very good. And the package was on a 48hr contract but was delivered in less than 24!
