One off Share trade

Does anyone have any experience, or can give some advice on the best (cheapest) way to sell a lump of shares on a single certificate?

I've read this site: Cheapest ways to sell paper share certificates which seems to suggest that "ShareDeal Active" with a one off fee is the way to go. Having called them they advised Dial and Deal is the best way forward at £27.00 flat fee.
Has anyone had any dealings with them?

    As already stated you could use X-O.co.uk.

    Here is a post I put up as a suggestion to a similar question to yours in how to do it:

    You could use someone like X-O.co.uk share dealing services (£5.95 per trade) for a cheap method of selling the shares.

    Open a Share Dealing account with X-O.co.uk (part of Jarvis Investment Management Ltd) - free to open and no annual account charges - then transfer your share certificates in to your account (to be safe send the shares in by registered post) and sell them for £5.95 per share holding.

    How do I transfer in stock that I hold in the form of certificates?

    What markets can I deal in?

    And if you don't want to go down the route of transferring them into electronic form you could use:

    http://www.sellmysharecertificates.com/

    (which like X-O.co.uk is also part of Jarvis Investment Management Ltd) and sell at a fixed commission of £22.50 per holding.
    Never let the perfume of the premium overpower the odour of the risk
