posting parcel abroad

I'd like to post an ELC activity art centre to Malta. Neither Amazon or ELC can post and I don't want to pay huge RM charges. It doesn't weigh a lot but is quite a large package. Has anyone any suggestions please other than normal DHL etc? Many thanks.

    I've used parcel monkey to send a pc tower to italy, i got much better price than offered by mainstream couriers. the funny thing was that they used parcel force which when i checked on their site wanted to charge a whole lot more.
    reviews for parcel monkey are mixed but the one time i used personally found the service good.

    They just said it was the size. Length is 106cm so I guess that's too long?? I'll keep parcel monkey for future use though. Thanks again.

    There's a 'Cheap parcel delivery' thread on here somewhere.
