What logistics and delivery services have members found reliable since Packfleet's acquisition?

Since Packfleet's acquisition, members have migrated to several alternatives. DHL has emerged as the most cost-effective option, though post-acquisition Packfleet was historically praised for flexibility and lower breakage rates.

Members' current recommendations: - **DHL** — cited as cheapest and most reliable since Packfleet went under; recommended by multiple members as the primary alternative - **Evermile** — platform offering next-day (local and nationwide) and same-day delivery options with Shopify integration; members using it report "pretty good" performance with no complaints, though note costs can increase unpredictably. One member clarified Evermile primarily functions as an interface/platform for DHL and Royal Mail rather than operating independently - **DPD** — mentioned as cheap and reliable alternative

One member noted they were previously paying £6.50 per pack (up to 20kg) at entry volume with Packfleet, and is evaluating whether DHL pricing is more competitive.

Caveats: Evermile's pricing flexibility was flagged as a concern by one member. The group noted that pre-acquisition Packfleet offered better service than current alternatives in terms of flexibility and damage rates, suggesting a trade-off between cost and service quality.
