You can try Interlink Express. They will deal with private individuals and you can pay by credit card. Be aware tho that they have a max length of 3 mtrs and any parcel between 2 mtrs and 3 mtrs is classed as freight and will be charged as so or a £15 surcharge added. The local depot may take cash on collection but check with them first and get a quote. You will need dimensions and the actual weight.

There are restrictions on international parcels but 1.5mtrs to Europe should not be a problem.

Just remembered , as I was behind one of their lorries , Drummond Distribution, used to use them many moons ago through business , they were very good and very good prices too for moving stuff around uk , they collected and delivered two moths and masts for me , in one piece !!! 

 

As I say was quite a while ago , company grown quite a bit since then but seem to be same family business I used .They specialised in shifting "anything " at all rather than just nice neat packages most couriers prefer

 

worth a call at least

Great website with a really simple quotation page. Great if I want to send my mast to Mainland Europe (£39 to France) however they don't deliver anything over 1.5m within UK .

I'll keep looking.
