DONT use FedEx, they are very expensive!

Your best bet would be to use UPS, there is a calculator on their site, not sure how it works, i have never used it myself but you should be able to get alot of info from there

www.ups.com

Need any info then I may be able to find it out for you as I have an account due to my job, as I am a shipping clerk, just give me the weight and dims, weight is more important though as you wont find anything if you dont have that info
I drive a 1994 Rover 620 Ti, and my little toy, a Mk3 Honda CRX Vtec which is dead at the moment!

Try your post office - the Royal Mail are very competitive and I've used them to send stuff all over the world with 100% success.

Cant you get a mate to post UPS from his company or something, ususally works out WAY cheaper than normal.

If its big, then it sounds like a ParcelForce job.

Royal Mail or Interparcel.

Interparcel are very good, they use many different courier companies, so they are essentially a broker type arrangement. Prices are always cheap and I've had a 100% success rate with them so far and I've used them loads of times.
