Shipping 3Kg to Greece, Signed Cheapest Option?

I have a product I wouldn't normally ship outside the UK but the buyer is keen and checks out OK.
Problem is it's a 3Kg parcel 28x38x58cm. (lots of packing, it's reasonably delicate).
Too heavy for RM Airmail. Needs to have tracking/signature.
Parcelforce want £43 for 7 day service.
Any better options?

Can it be broken down to send in 2 parts? If so this'll be cheaper via RM with insurance.
If not then use Parcel2go 19.99 +VAT

They sub it out to the biggies like FedEx or UPS so you get their same service.0 -

Unfortunately Greece is not included in that tariff. It seems £39.99+VAT for greece.
It has to be one piece, or its broken

you should try to send it with one of paypal's approved services otherwise if something goes wrong you'd lose a paypal claim even if you provided tracking numbers etc..0

Do an Ebay search for 'parcel delivery' or courier service or something, I always use payperdrop, ok so UK next day is £5.99 but I know they do europe and internation as well. I use them all the time and not once have they let me down!0
