Thanks Tom, I'll check them out.

Any other services worth considering?

I used parcel force. Was the cheapest when I looked. They have a formula for the max size involving length and width and its quite snug for bigger frames so you need to package it carefully.

Also used Parcelforce recently and was pleasantly surprised at the cost. It was a small wheel folder but similar size to a frame, and was in a frame box. It was about £12 collected without insurance, but the insurance seemed reasonable too.

Parcelforce mostly, as above they can be surprisingly good value.

If you want cheap, Evri offer a "large and light" service that can be perfect for a frame, but weirdly not through their own storefront, you can only buy it through (iirc) either parcel2go or parcelmonkey. Obviously, it's evri so buy the insurance but even then it can be really, really cheap, and usually pretty convenient for dropodds etc.
