It's 30p cheaper to drop it off to the parcelshop on all four of the price bands.
I do that for a few reasons - firstly, means the person receives the package quicker, secondly means I don't need to wait in for someone to collect, and thirdly I go within half a mile of the drop off place on my way to work each morning.
I use them for most things these days that I would have historically used Royal Mail for before their pricing went stupid a few years back, and - touch wood - I've had very little problems with them, just a single parcel that someone on eBay claimed hadn't been delivered but the tracking said had been. Never had anything damaged but then I do tend to over-do it with packaging to ensure they're well protected in transit.
The only things I don't use them for is anything heavy or valueable which I send using UPS who have always been spot-on, just uncompetitive on price for smaller parcels.
FFS I cursed myself well and truly - literally five minutes after writing that reply I had a message from someone saying that Hermes had apparently left the parcel I'd sent them in the porch... only seemingly not their porch, and thus the parcel has gone AWOL.
*sigh*
