    Hi, you can try transglobalexpress.co.uk I use them and usually choose their UPS option but you'll have to take out additional insurance if it valuable and you want it covered, but the good thing is it'll get their within a few days and they usually collect it from you.

    I recently sent a small parcel to Australia which was under 1kg and found the PO the cheapest option (recommendation here on MSE).
  • 6kg, ended up with Parcelforce too, via an online shopping supermarket I think, will dig.
