sorry, i don't know the first thing about it, apart from you have to take things from one place to another place, on a bike.
i'm sure there's a lot more to it than that though.

The 'best' courier company may not be the best place to start; do you really really know your way around? Could you go from Maiden Lane to Vigo street and on to Beauchamp Place and then pick up from the Telegraph and drop at Prowse Place without looking in your A-Z? If so then fine, you could do well at any company. If not then a busy circuit might overwhelm you at first.
The only way to get a courier job is to get a courier job; not many places will take you on if you have no experience so find one that will and if it's crap then after a few weeks you can think about moving to somewhere better and will have a much greater chance of being taken on.
It will do you no harm either to meet and befriend other couriers, learn from them what their companies are like and find out quicker if there are vacancies.
Ultimately there isn't that much difference between the main, decent, companies. Some are more city based, some more west end, some do more distance etc.
If you want to be a courier then get stuck in. The first few weeks are often the worst and the least profitable but if you get thru them then you'll start to enjoy it.
Good luck and don't overlook Moving Target, it really is the best site for first hand knowledge of the business. -

I was talking to a few couriers at london's calling:
credit crunch + summer holidays = no work.
no-ones sure if it will pick up in september or not but the general consesnsus is that it's probably not going to.
miserable fuckers.
