Fastway couriers is the leader in this area - we use them at work.  No-one has a bad word to say about them and they are very competitive.  Type in fastwaycouriers in a search and pick your area.  :wink:

DHL Are very good with this kind of thing, fairly cheap and reliable

UPS are Reliable, but pricey

City Link can be hit and miss, but 75% of the time are OK. Cheap though

Tuffnels(SP?) Good for cross country stuff cheap.

Yep. For a one off parcel the parcel2go rates are very good. Most mainstream carriers will charge significantly more if you don't have a contract. Just watch the size limits though. The maximum length is 4 feet so I doubt you can send a bumper!
