Parcel Force have been best for parcels tha size whenever I've needed to send one. Prices start around £12 (insurance probably increases that) and you can even get Quidco 🙂

Paisley freight. You'd be lucky to get a wheel sent for 12 quid with PF, never mind a frame.

Paisley freight.

Purely because they actually answer their phone and sort out any problems.

Box it up, measure/weigh and parcel2go will give you loads of online quotes for different options/couriers/delivery times/insurance etc. Then pick your poison, most are a total PITA if you need to claim though.
