Weigh it then look on royal mail. Probably better asking around if anyone knows someone with a courier account.

First thing is to package it up like it's glass, then weigh and measure it so you can get quotes off of courier websites.

I usually use Hermes as they offer collection from your house for bigger items as an extra cost but it's not expensive.

Or if it's a friend, maybe meet halfway for a beer 🍺

I tend use Parcel2go or Parcelmonkey to find the best price when sending stuff. Obviously you play courier version of russian roulette when deciding who to actually use to send it with but touch wood I haven't had any issues to date.

Don't use Hermes /EVRI as their now known their the worst of the worst along with Yodel/Collect + . I've seen good reports paisley freight are good prices for bigger items look up their website

thanks for all the reply's

I have gone with interparcel they use Parcel Force 48h they will come here and collect it !!
and deliver it the 156 miles away for £38.62 very happy with that

OF COURSE
should of said it would be even cheaper if I dropped it off to the parcel shop but happy to get it collected with the price of fuel

Nice. Not too bad that at all.
Are you sure?
