Default Anyone have experience sending large packages by courier?

Hi.
I have to send out large parcels as part of my business (bodykits). I am currently using Parcel Force, Im happy with the service, but I am starting to have problems due to the parcels being above their maximum size limit.
Anyone in the industry, or regulary sends large parcels, that can advise me of whos best to use?

Thanks, Rob.

call DHL..open an account.
10k is only £10.50 +VAT.. next day delivery.
for every 0.5KG over that is works out only 50p more

you want to speak to Colin Earp... his direct line is 01332 817537
mention NEOQUIP . He can set you an account to export too.
you can ring up on the same day (am) and get a pick up the same day

Salsa-King, What is situation with DHL if customer not in? Do they charge for re-delivery or can you instruct to leave on doorstep or whatever? A friend uses Nightspeed which I think is £6.75 up to 20 kgs - any experience? Thanks (not a hijack I hope as it may contribute to thread). DL
