let you into a secret, well all of you, may make you aggle about postage costs when buying from traders ect....
From work we use UPS, ok they collect around 10-20 parcels a day how much do you think it costs to send up too 70kgs anywhere with a UK post code,
including Northen Ireland ?
I know yours is just one parcel Joel but may be worth seeing what they would charge too collect.

Hope you will be popping in for a coffee
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Never mind guys,
Thank you very much for the offer Jon,
but as Joel says it looks like you have solved the problem anyway by suggesting UPS.
Thanks again
Sam
