Does packages sent with DPD or Parcel Force usually arrive ok? Within the UK or from the UK to the EU?
Thanks! |

| Any alcoholic beverage with alcohol content greater than 24% ABV is prohibited from sending internationally using Royal Mail, you can post within the UK with Royal Mail, if packaged correctly it should arrive intact. I have never posted anything with DPD so I cannot comment. |

Avoid DPD if you can. Dreadful.

If I'm sending anything to a UK-based friend, I drop it into Mail Boxes Etc. They pack the bottle(s) and then send using either Parcelforce or UK Mail. No problems so far.
I've never sent a bottle abroad. |
