cheapest possible postage??

i have an item to sell on ebay and postage charges have gone up with DHL. it is now going to cost £38 to send, double what it has cost previously. Parcel force are quoting £19 by the cheapest way. Can anyone help with cheaper alternatives?? The item weights 16.5 kg and is a dolls house, that can be flat packed if needed.
Just about to give up!

    The Parcel Force offer seems like a very good one to me. You might want to try the likes of InterParcel.com to see if they can do it any cheaper because they get discounted rates. But £19 for a 16.5Kg package in my opinion is very good, especially seen as it gets picked up at your door, so no hassle!

    Thanks for telling us about Parcel2Go. I've been wanting to sell a couple of heavy items, but never did because the postage would be more than the cost of the item. This company looks like it's just what I wanted. Keep up the good work!! :j
  • parcel2 go......

    go through quidco or topcashback and get £2 cashback ...first time you use only...

    and everytime you use it .... at the "checkout" it asks for special codes etc ... put in GREASY and it knocks 10% off ... everytime !
