I did look at Parcel Monkey but couriers won't insure anything near £2500 . The best I could find was around £49, without the cost of sending it.0

Royal mail now collect from houses and you can send by special delivery which covers items up to 2500 but I think it might be limited to certain sizes.
Parcel force tend to take anything too big for royal mail. But I don't know if royal mail limit the size they collect with.1 -
Have you asked the store who they would use/if they could recommend someone?Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!1
