            Hi
can anyone help me out with the name of a decent but cheap courier/parcel delivery service please?
 I want to send a 1/12th scale ? Tyne class Lifeboat Hull and Cabins,which does not weigh a lot but the size seems to be awkward. the hull is 47inches long,12 inches approx high and wide,but the COMBINED dimensions  exceed the maximums stated  by the couriers!  any suggestions please?
 thanks,
Mick

working 0n 1200*200*200 mm with a wieght of 20kg  

       TNT UK Express                            £8.85 + VAT   

just converted yours 120*31*31  weighing at 15kg

          City Link Next Day                            £8.50 + VAT   

and varies to this one

I know you have already sent it now.  However, I have found parcelforce to be okay.  I have had a few parcels over the maximum they can allow, and yet they have still accepted them.  they usually cost around £15 to send.
thanks mark
