Default How do I send a large parcel to Jersey?

Need a little help, I need to send a parcel thats 150cm long, by about 25cm wide by about 50cm high weighing about 2.5kg to Jersey.

Royal Mail don't do Statndard Parcels to Jersey and everything else, fron what I can see, won't take such a large parcel. DHL want £85 odd.

Any ideas?

Andy

I'm using this company at the moment. service is cheap and they collect fro your door. Pretty sure they do non mainland deliveries. I was going to send a parcel to Australia last week using them

Usually next day in the UK. I don't work for them either

where are you based? My brother ships stuff for £5 for a 6cuft. box. That's a rate for mainland but if you're my way then can see about getting him to send it.
