Other than the two mentioned any courier company will handle it. Shop around for prices though as some are quite pricy.
TNT, Fed Ex DHL etc etc
Tight Lines

Cheapest I've found. DHL or City Link will collect on the day of your choice from the address of your choice and deliver. Parcel is tracked from the minute it leaves your hands.

I sent a parcel with them to Ireland last week using their Euro 48hr service. Parcel force wanted £27. I paid £13.99+vat with these peopleand the best bit was that Parcel Farce picked it up!!!

We have branches of Mailboxes etc nearby they will also provide packing materials.....I believe they use the standard courier companies but can get discounts that an individual person cant so are cheaper.....

I sent some Golf clubs with them, I couldnt beat their prices.....

Check out www.mbe.co.uk or directory enquiriies to see if they have a branch near you....

Can you not send it via Parcel Force 24/48? I sold a 2 piece Loomis recently and payed about £12.
