That is couriers for small parcels (<1kg), not van drivers of diminutive stature. Any recommendations?

I'm guessing that the higher priority is for the delivery to be made? In which case don't, under any circumstances, go with Yodel.

I use Collect+ (I think it's called) from Londis and other outlets. https://www.collectplus.co.uk/

Parcel2go gives you all of those options, plus others. It's like a wossname. Screenscraper.

We've used P2Go a few times - I concur with Nick's recommendation. A.

Sometimes they offer an 'own brand' service, beware, this may be with Yodel.

Most of them seem to be starting at a little over �3, except the ones that deliver as far as the local shop for collection. Mail order oil possibly not such a good idea.
