try gumtree - quite a lot of independents advertise on it0

You could try Shiplys-they are a site where you can post your requirements and hauliers/couriers may respond with a quotation so they have a full load.0

I moved a load of stuff using parcel 2 go. They charged about £8 per box and there were size and weight limits (details on their website) A couple of glasses got broken, but other than that I was really pleased with the service.

Thanks for all those great suggestions! A friend who recently asked for removal van quotes for Manchester to London got prices ranging from £150-250. I have a feeling Manchester to Devon is going to be extortionate - will check nonetheless.
In the meantime, I'm going to have to figure out how many boxes worth of stuff I have in order to get a courier/parcel quote at the suggested websites.
However, another quick question:
Can I use boxes from the supermarket for couriering?
Many thanks

as long as they offer enough protection for whats inside and can withstand the handling0
