shipping from CRC?

I was just about to order some stuff from Chain Reaction Cycles when I saw they shipped with Parcel Force International or UPS Express Saver. Parcel Force is half the price of UPS but is it reliable? What has anyone else shipped with? This is going to CA.

It's a Royal Mail service. Those packages arrive by Canada Post at my end.
I have shipped using the Parcel Force International. It was quick, cheap, and it arrived via DHL on my end.
I've used it multiple times with great success. Packages often arrive much quicker than I would have anticipated.
Parcel force is great, no brokerage fees ever for me. Just a 5$ handling fee from Canada post and a 50/50 on local taxes.

Also, if you go over a certain price (275$ CND ?) the shipping is free. Great way to blow some more cash.
Really? In the Passion Forum....

Parcel force is part of Royal Mail(massive British operation), I wouldnt think you will have any trouble at all with this.FWIW I've used CRC for bits and bobs, and I've had super fast delivery from them( I do live in Britain though)

No issues. Usually takes a week to arrive.
I didn't see a shipping forum so I picked one that a lot of people would be browsing. Is there a better place to put this? Also, its free shipping after $265 but that means I would be spending more money just to save some. Trust me, I have already thought about just buying stuff for the heck of it! Thanks for the replies, I'm not too worried anymore!
I bought tires, shoes and pedals all at the same time so shipping was free. They came in different boxes at different time. The tires came in like 3-5 days, but the shoes got stuck in customs for almost two weeks. This was a Maryland ship.
