Depends on size and weight, if you know that its easier to get quotes.

In the end I've used Parcel Force 48 - £35.66 with insurance of £800, if the value had been £100 it would only cost £11.90!

Thanks for your help folks!

1.4Kg total? Is this a picture frame, or has it got helium balloons tied to it?

Spoke too soon, seller only around Friday AM - noon or Saturday and other than Parcelmonkey that I've only heard bad things about no one is able to collect for personal customers with time slots like that and I don't want to risk paying and them not be there unless I'm willing to pay DHL £130! so have a nice 287 mile round trip early hours Sarurday - oh joy!

Or see if anyone on here is local to pick it up and help you out?

I've found retro bike couriers quite good.
