I'd stick to CourierPost mate. Farceaway are hopeless.

Seemed over the top. Maybe the carton size bumped it up. 800 x 400 x 100.
Packed it full of bubble wrap and shredded paper. Spent 6mths casual driving for courier post a few years back. Saw some badly damaged parcels. Why place something, when chucking it in is faster!
