This is so good for rural areas, good pricing and collection/send point at all pep branches.

Pity the staff is not very well trained and it takes ages to send a parcel through our local PEP stores. The cost is reasonable but it can take up to 9 working days to arrive on the other side.  One plus is that you as the seller are sent a Pin once the item arrives at the PEP collection store. You give this to your buyer so it prevents anyone else from stealing the parcel. You are then notified once they have collected as well.  If you have an hour to stand waiting for someone to arrange your parcel to be sent off, then this is a decent option.

I haven't tried PEP yet. Do they have an insurance policy?

Hi, as a customer in a rural area, this really doesn't work very well - I bought something without realising this was the delivery method, and it would take so much out of my time and day to go and fetch it that it isn't worth doing (v. small item).  Not to mention that the store information sounded as though they'd sent it to the wrong place.  I've had door-to-door deliveries from other vendors to the same address for less than I got charged for this, so really, why bother?  Personally I would not buy from a vendor who didn't at least offer a door-to-door alternative.  The seller couldn't care less and clearly couldn't be bothered to investigate the best couriering options, so won't be hearing from me again, but for anyone interested in customer service, this isn't great.  Sure, there are undoubtedly people for whom this is a good option and it would depend on the size/value of the item too, but for me it's a non-starter.
