Title: A quick thanks to Nige...
Post by: Rivkid on July 17, 2012, 19:42:35 PM
Some Finnish guy bidded a stupid amount of money on ebay for an old guitar effects unit I'd be given for free and never used. I'd specified collection only but thought for that money sod it - got a quote from Parcelfarce for £75.00 to ship it, and fair play he sent the money no problem.

I then remembered Nige recommending Pharos Courier to me years ago so I got a quote - £30, insured, trackable and via UPS! Made a total of £120.00 on something I got for free and only expected to get a fiver for - RESULT!

The Pharos are Egyptian gods :bow:

I haven't used them in ages actually! I should remember to check back on them.

Just sold my 21.5" iMac (rebuilding it for new owner as we speak) along with my old Macbook. They were both core2duo and I'm trying downsize and generally own less stuff - so they've both gone and I'm looking at the i7 MacBook Pro's something like a 2011 model.
