…They posted a leaflet through our door, saying they want local home delivery couriers in our area and please call this number…
Your area which is.....? What is the contact address?
There is no contact address for them on the leaflet - just the telephone number, they have depots / branches all over the country (courier service) Was hoping it may be the number for one of their local branches in Exeter or Bristol maybe. I am in Plymouth

As it is a national rate one, I was wondering if someone had a normal landline for them, which may even also be local to me...you never know ?
Err, what???!! Go wash your mouth out or clean your fingers/keyboard!
For the majority of residential telephone users distance makes no difference at all. Call your neighbour for the same as a call to the other end of the country. Calls to 0870, and usually 0845 for that matter, are far higher than a national call, hence "national rate" is misleading.
I was obviously advised incorrectly, was told 0870 numbers can still be up to 65% more expensive than a standard national call to a normal landline number ? My tariff to numbers varies depending on weekday/ weekend on the time of day I call and also depends on local, national or international and of course premium numbers / mobile numbers etc
