UK/European shipping services

I've had some interest shown in my listing http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=13078 , but a lot of it is from Europe. Can some of my English friends give some suggestions as to the best carrier to ship within Europe from the UK? I can get it Chippenham from NY hand-carried.
Many Thanks.

Usually when I ship, both from Japan and Europe I just use the regular Post office.

DPD is usually cheaper from UK to central EU.

+1 for Interparcel, using DHL europlus option.
I used their services for guitars and speakers, from UK to France.
Fast : 4 days door to door, collected and delivered
cheap : ?18 incl vat, < 10kg
No dammage.
Guitars in hardcase are fully insured

Interparcel have let me down twice now - they simply didn't collect when they said they would, then replied that it wasn't a guaranteed collection, so there was "nothing we can do".

This company seems to be rather better, good prices too.

I sent a Gibson to Germany using them a few weeks ago, & all went well.

Thanks for the help everyone. Do any of the aforementioned carriers have drop-off depots that will pack the guitar for you as well as the handle the shipping?
