Well if you are ever out of work, there's a golden opportunity for you, at £25 a pick up you will be inundated with work...... But I feel you will soon be out of pocket. JMO and not meant to be offensive  ;) ;)

Alan i said about 2 days ago what you fanciers need is Either Parcel Force or DHL etc etc but like i also told you i worked for Parcel Force for nearly 8 years and Fed Ex for just over 2 and if you can get anything collected from Kent or Cornwall for eg and get it to yourself in Edingburgh for less than what the couriers are charging you now then you deserve a gold medal because i know that you wont mate im sorry but you are wrong on this like i also said we charged £25.00 for over 4 months and fanciers still complained that we were too deer then after Xmas we put our price up to £30.00 and we lost alot of customers because there were still other couriers charging £25.00 and im sorry but the couriers will not be able to last charging less than £35.00/£40.00

If a new courier started up and charged 25 pounds for up to 4 birds he would make a killing,as he would get 75% of the work.It might be hard for a few weeks but so what nout is easy in this world :)

Not necessary mate we didnt and we couldnt of done more than what we were doing our vans were full all the time and if we had got bigger vans then it would cost alot more in diesel. We got a transit van and it only does 35 mile to £10 of diesel yet our little connect vans we were using done around 95 miles to £10 of diesel big difference. Yes you can get more in a transit but you cant do as many drops as they are alot slower and now some of the new one's are tacho'd so you would have to take your breaks.

:) My mate has worked it out that he can have 250 birds inboxes at any one time in a vauxhall comb van with his special ventilation system,and run it legally.
