Ups are who i last used about 18 quid I think and they collect from your house

There's no problem with this post as it's only about sales elsewhere. 

I agree that UPS are probably the best to use in this case.

Used there website, quite easy really, I found it easier to use a rod tube If you have one spare, all you need to do is print off the address label

Can always go to a carpet shop and ask them for the tubes they will usually let you have a couple for free or very cheap.

That's exactly what I did when I sent a set of three rods to a pal of mine. The tubes were what the carpet grip bars are sent in and the shop owner was glad to be rid of them. When I'd secured each rod in it's own tube I taped all three tubes together to be sure they all travelled as a "unit".

As there's a UPS depot just round the corner from my business unit I dropped the package to them. They were delivered almost exactly 24 hours later.
