I used DHL and they seemed pretty much OK. Sent it in a length of drainpipe. I think it was about £19 - mainland UK.

Sandra, just make sure you insure it. I sent mine by DHL and they smashed it to bits, but eventually paid out in full. It cost me £25 to send it overnight, insured.

unless you use parcelforce (who dont care) just dont tell them what the package is - we had a couple of couriers (including DHL IIRC) refuse to transport a bow - even though being a flatbow unstrung it was effectively a stick and a piece of string

Hi Sandra
We sent one via Courier Quote - Shipment Details too long for Royal mail and too expensive via Parcel2go.
