Default Alternate post service - not RM

So what alternatives do we have to Royal Mail for just small simple packages?

parcel2go have been good and a usually very cheap.

most other "alternative" postal delivery firms use royal mail postmen for the last leg of the delivery...

parcel2go have adopted a £3.99 under 2kg, but it's multiple with a one off £5 collection fee I think, so if you want a lot at once, and normally dropped off with DHL that might be the way to go. I have been considering, as I shelved the ebay selling for now, as ebay tell you not to buy from royal mail postage sellers at present, seriously affects end prices.
details here,

Have used them for international and huge things like a Baja %B not been let down yet.

I'm thinking of just 'large letter' type jiffy bag sizes and such
Seems a lot to pay for that.
