Default Best Courier to use for a lot of parts?

So, I've treated the VTR to a few bits and pieces and now need to collect the parts. However, 3 hour drive from Bath to just past London and back. I'm struggling to find the time to go up and get the bits. So I'm on the hunt for a courier or someone to pick the parts up for me!

I've bought,

4x wheels with tyres
Gearbox
Coilovers and rear shocks
Wishbones
Intake

If anyone can help that would be great!

Paisley freight if you can get it all on a pallet will be cheaper, must also be secure.

They lied, put everything on a pallet make it secure and wrap it with shrink wrap and get it collected. Mark it as fragile and in the description mark it as car parts other job done. We do it all the time.

No problem, when you get a weight give TNT a call because if they have a job in the area that needs a tail lift they will twin the load so can offer a lower price.
