    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. Nadia

    I got a table which I need to send off. Its rougly 6.5ftlength x 4ftwidth. not sure about the weight, but are there couriers that will do it under £40? I know parcel2go colelct from wherever you want them to but are there other couriers which do the same with super large items?

    Thanks,
