Try the Express Packages guy on eBay. He's done me some good rates for things that were too large / heavy for other p2Go etc recently, although they weren't quite as much as 40kg.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0

Try www.parcelmonkey.co.uk there rates are good.
Not for heavy parcels.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0 -
Wherer is the parcel and where does it need to go? Someone on here might offer to do it for you as a favour, perhaps...0

I would strongly discourage the OP from taking up any offer receievd via PM. Just because someone is registered on MSE doesn't mean they are trustworthy, they may not have correct insurance or indeed any insurance at all nor of course will any individual be able to satisfy paypal tracking requirements.
This is the closest statement from Martin that I cna find:
