Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

I do like DPD and their live tracking and hour window.
I've had 2 guitars handled via Parcel Force and it was fine. One via UPS also fine. By fine I mean the box arrived with no big holes or dents and guitar in 1 piece.
I think they all screw up at some point. Until real data is collected from all couriers across the whole of the UK, its all going to be personal experience.
I've had issues with UPS - who are often cited as the best. In contrast, Parcel Force who arguably have the worst reputation, I've never had any issues with.

You ask them to deliver to a neighbour (twice) and they do not. They just shove a card through your letterbox.
When I phoned them I got lied to (twice).
To crown it all they use one of those 0845 numbers so it costs you to phone them.
I wouldn't send a guitar via parcel farce because if you look in there T&C you'll see that they only cover Guitars/Musical Instruments for a MAX of £100,btw they will take your money for extra cover but will never pay out more than £100.....shysters
Also be very careful when sending via 3rd parties like parcel monkey,parcel to go ect ect as they also have T&C's for items,so even if you've used a Courier that does cover guitars doesn't mean a 3rd party will pay if its on the "Prohibitive Items" list and a few of them will only carry guitars on a non compensation basis (parcel monkey)
Myself i only send stuff via UPS with Parcel2go,because my local UPS driver is a really nice guy and they've only fucked up once in 20 or so parcel ive sent with them,the fuck up was being late by a day and parcel2go refunded the del cost without any question or nonsense....but hey that's just me im sure many ppl here will tell you UPS are Satan's spawn only walking the earth to spread chaos and destruction.
The company has proper liveried vans fitted with storage to protect the parcels and the drivers wear uniforms.
Everything inspires confidence.
Some are better than others but it all comes down to pot luck in the end, even with the good ones.
