Hi code-a-holic. Try pharos-international. They use UPS and can deliver your item provided that the other 2 dimensions (width + height) added together are 68 cm or less. They charge between £ 11.50 and £13.50(including VAT and insurance) for a parcel up to 30 kg (depending on weight). I have used them last week to send a travel system that was also too large to be sent by other couriers and can highly recommend them.
If this option fails due to a larger size than they deliver why don't you email the seller you bought the item from and ask him which courier he/she used? I don't think they would mind you asking.
Hope you get this sorted. NadiaI

They all seem to have a mximum combined size of 300cm. 2 smallest sizes multilply by 2 then add the longest length. Mine adds up to 463!
