Try to avoid using all-caps for emphasis, use bold text instead:

Suggested change
| Hermes (1-5 days) | Cheap for smaller items, drop off at Hermes ParcelShop or collection available | NOT RECOMMENDED - UPS/Parcelforce often cheaper for larger items, can be slow and items frequently go missing | [Link](https://www.myhermes.co.uk/) |

Reason for this is that a screen reader might read an all-caps word as individual letters rather than a full word.

| DPD (1-2 days) | Reasonably priced, fast delivery, excellent tracking | Insurance can be expensive | _Book via Parcel2Go_ |
| Yodel/CollectPlus (1-2 days) | Prices are OK | Yodel have a reputation for destroying parcels | _Book via Parcel2Go_ |

Please create an img directory inside assets, and use an image embed like so (note the exclamation point at the start of the line):

![Alt text goes here](Image URL goes here)

You can use a relative link to items in the assets folder by setting the URL to /assets/img/whatever.jpg. Make sure you set the alt text to something sensible.
