Courier from France to UK

[dan gulberry]

Anyone have any ideas about a reliable and inexpensive courier from rural France to the UK? DHL France want 173euros for a 5kg box. lol

That's expensive, no?

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to help this artist retrieve his work (dolls and objects) from some exploitative idiots in France.

it shouldn't be more than €100 using a courier service. still expensive i know, might be worth trying la poste and checking out their prices for registered post or their courier service.

Dan - how quickly does it need to get from a to b? And how large is it?

cheers spoon - looking at La Poste website

@wheezer - hiya - the box is 50 by 40 cm (I know that 2D but that's all I've been given!) and weighs 5kg.
EDIT - and it need not be a rapide service - just reliable!
