What is the best courier to ship internationally?

Ugh, choosing an international courier? It's a jungle out there. I shipped a package to my aunt in Australia last July – a birthday gift, cost a bomb, around £70 with Royal Mail. Took ages, though.
Royal Mail is pretty decent for reach. They say 230+ countries. Honestly? I’ve used them for years, mostly okay.
DHL? Expensive, but FAST. Remember that time I needed docs in Germany by the 12th of September? DHL saved the day. Pricey though, over €100.
UPS? Mixed bag. Sometimes great, other times…not so much. Had a problem with a package getting lost, February 2023, still bitter.
Seriously, finding the best is impossible. It depends entirely on your needs, budget and destination. The one size fits all approach doesn't work here.
International Courier Options (2024): DHL, UPS, Royal Mail, PostNL, DB Schenker, DTDC, TNT, YRC Freight.
