I use http://www.worldwide-parcelservices.co.uk they are on Quidco too, I use them to send boxes of up to 20kgs all over the world. I cannot fault them.

Thanks for the link. Do you get money off going thru quid co? The cheapest on your link is £10 dearer than booking via inter parcel !

You can get cashback, cannot remember how much off hand, plus there is a code which I think is 5pcsurvey for 5% off. I just find them reliable and the customer service is good. I send many high value goods (shipments usually cost £100 a time), other companies would come and go but these have been around for a long time so it works for me. Obviously I did not check the prices before posting so I do not know how they compare to others, they are the cheapest I found for my own shipping.

The dimensions of the box may affect the price as well as its weight. A large box which doesn't weigh much will be charged according to its volumetric 'weight' in kg - usually LxBxH in cm divided by 6000 or sometimes 4000 according to the carrier. A 50cm cube box for instance has a volumetric weight of over 20kg.
