Posting a longbow

Hi I'm trying to find the best service to send my longbow within the UK
Hermes and DHL have a max 1.2m, DPD is 2m but the package (in plastic square drainpipe) is 2.09m
Parcelforce will send it with Express 48 Large but with sufficient insurance it's over 30 quid.

Any other options?

That sounds about right. I found some will go to 1.6m but longer was very expensive if you want more than the usual £20 insurance.

A few quotes from Interparcel.com

I usually end up using TNT Express - the cheapest & never had a problem.
N.B. i use to order pickup of bows i've bought - never used it to send a bow though - never sold one!

Thanks Berny, that's more like it. I haven't sold one, I'm sending it to the bowyer for some work.
