I have a parcel around the 20kg weight that a need to send UK mainland. Who can recommend a cheap effecient service, also need it to be signed at other end for piece of mind.

parcel2go will probably be your best bet (they use DHL).

Pharos

They use UPS fully trackable, around a tenner.

just collected two 30kg speakers using Yodel for £9 each. 1/2 th price of the next competitor!

though http://www.collectmyparcel.com

Senditnow.com take up to 35kg IIRC, something to do with the max weight one person can lift ?

On Parcel2go the cheapest usually comes out as Home Delivery Network. I’ve used them & its worked out ok. Sent a travel system with loads of bits, cost £7.

if it ends up looking like it’s very expensive looking into pallet shipping.

iirc. 1/4 height pallets start from £40. HTH

Well I used parcel2go, and cheaper using pacelforce 48 through them than it was going direct!!!

Used Parcel2Go loads of times. They also pay £4 quidco for new customers so definitely worth using once. 20KG should be no problem, from £6+vat but sometimes the dimensions can hike up the price.

Parcel2Go – used them twice and very impressed on delivery time and price.

IME – if you like parcel2go you will love http://www.interparcel.com – same concept but when things go wrong they have real people who will answer phones and help sort it out! Costs between the two are very similar.
